Does anyone know what the hell is going on with the vote tonight?

[WilliamPitt]

The House will vote, per AP: http://www.boston.com/business/news/2013/10/15/house-vote-tuesday-night-budget-bill/tlnqOz8WJ6gNEeOHr9fpYI/story.html

No vote tonight, per TPM: http://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/here-s-the-latest

WaPo: Vote cancelled.

Is the AP a half-hour behind, or did Boehner change his mind?

[Bjorn Against]

1. My understanding is they planned to have a vote but cancelled it

Boehner does not have enough votes to pass his plan so he cancelled the vote to avoid any more embarrassment than he has already caused himself.

[WilliamPitt]

2. I finally turned on the TV.

Looks like that's the deal.

The AP is slow on the draw tonight.

[Mass]

3. It may be that the AP statement is already old.

An hour ago, they announced that they were not going to vote on the bill at this point (Heritage decided to keyvote against the bill).

4. I heard Jim Demint

called the house gop and said to vote no.

[we can do it]

6. Republican Economic Terrorism.

7. Boehner changed his mind

and pulled it indefinitely as of 14:50 PST

Time is important, as this will once again change.

[AngryOldDem]

8. No vote tonight.

9. So what of the senate's plan?

[gopiscrap]

10. Welcome to DU

[ryubaks]

14. Thank you

[gopiscrap]

15. You're welcome, hope you learn from us, we learn for you

and that we can laugh together!

[AngryOldDem]

12. Reid and McConnell are still talking.

But honestly, I think the ship has sailed.

[calimary]

18. Welcome to DU, ryubaks!

Glad you're here. It's anybody's guess. If it's republi-CON, it probably has no idea.

[SamYeager]

11. No vote, we are now at the mercy of the Senate acting at Ludicrous Speed.

It looks like Ted Cruz and his Tortilla Coast Republicans are leading us to default.

Hello massive global Depression on a scale never before seen in history.

I, for one, welcome our new MORON Overlords... ( )

[gopiscrap]

16. fucking assholes

17. Well, the GOP certainly has no clue.

It's all about them, it's all their doing, and they don't know for shit. They wouldn't know a shit if it shit ON them.

[Motown_Johnny]

19. Remember Boehner's "Plan B"?

History repeats itself.

He doesn't have the votes to pass the deal he made. At least he can't get a majority of his party to vote for it.

No vote tonight.
