The New York Times is reporting that the debt ceiling vote in the House, expected at 6PM has been delayed. This may be a sign that Boehner does not have the votes. That may be the case. As of 5:25, The Hill said there were still 25 Republicans against or leaning NO. Boehner needs to lose no more than 23 Republicans. If the Hill is right, he is 2 votes short of what he needs. I have seen no indication that he can get votes from Democrats.
