As any good Whip is want to do, Eric Cantor's working his hardest to keep the faithful in line for Friday's vote, but unsure he can pull it off:
“I don’t talk about numbers and where our counts are. All I can tell you is we need to have knowledge of what’s in the bill.... It is a little bit difficult for us to come through, but we will."
So what's coming through? It's impossible to stop the bill, we know that... so coming through means a moral or symbolic victory?
"[I'm not looking for] any kind of moral victories or political victories. What I’m looking for is help for this economy and help for the families.”
This is when being Minority Whip is tough -- whips are often used in s&m. And there's an element of that here (though $ support for it was taken out of the stimulus' initial draft)
