But the real story is found in the 222-203 roll call vote.  I'm not sure what to make of this.  The "no" votes are a veritable "who's who" of undecideds and leaners on the underlying healthcare vote:  Mitchell, Adler, Nye, Periello, Kosmas, Carney, Childers, Cooper, Teague, and Dahlkemper all voted against it.  On the other hand, people thought to be "yeas" voted no: Giffords, Michaud and McNerney.  On yet another hand, some people thought to be hard "noes" voted "yea": Boucher, Chandler, Donnelly, Kaptur, Lynch, Marshall.  And finally, a bunch of fence-sitters voted yes: Altimre, Baird, Barrow (also listed as a "no"), Bean, Berry, Boccieri, Boyd, Capuano, Cuellar, Lincoln Davis, Ellsworth, etc.

In the end, you probably can't read too much into this.  It's a procedural vote, and some of the members will probably be eventual "nays" who wanted to support the leadership on a tough procedural vote.  Some of the members are probably voting "nay" so that they can say, I tried to stop the Slaughter rule, and preferred and up-down vote, but I had no choice.   The real action will be this weekend (probably), and is still very much up in the air.
