Pelosi faces biggest test on healthcare vote | Reuters: "House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is scrambling to hit that number and will likely have to rely solely on fellow Democrats, many of them undecided. All Republicans appear lined up against it.
If all Democrats voted as they did last year on an earlier version of the bill, Pelosi would reach 216. But many may switch from yes to no -- or no to yes.
'This is her toughest political and legislative battle since becoming speaker' in 2007,' said Ethan Siegal of The Washington Exchange, a private firm that tracks Congress for institutional investors.
'She doesn't have the votes yet, but nobody is counting her out,' Siegal said. 'She's proven that she knows how to get them.'"
