SPEAKER BOEHNER IS PROBABLY WRONG

NPR just reported that one of its experts thinks that there are enough votes in the House to pass a clean CR:

[public policy professor Jerry Mayer of George Mason University]
MAYER: It is absolutely true that a clean CR would pass if we can believe what is emerging from some Republicans' offices that there's numbers around 23, 22 - it only takes 17 or 18 Republicans to get this if all democrats vote for it.

ABC News also thinks there are enough votes:

By ABC News’ count, 217 members say they would support a “clean” measure to extend all government funding without other conditions attached, such as defunding or delaying the president’s health care law. 217 is the threshold needed to pass the measure.

SO, LET'S HAVE AN UP OR DOWN VOTE
