There is a sense that if Boehner loses here, and you embarrass him b/c you want big stand on defund, conf unity will quickly break down.

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT.

More info pouring in: leadership's inner circle is debating whether to kill tonight's vote, very likely not to happen

Staffer who's familiar w/ internal GOP whip count: "They know that it is f*****d."

Not sure if Boehner has officially decided, but leadership world + members who've met with them think the plan, even w/ changes, is dying
