Losing Votes: Jim Moran Will Vote Against the Supplemental

By GottaLaff

Jane Hamsher gives us this:

According to Ray McGovern, Rep. Jim Moran (brother of Virginia gubernatorial candidate Brian Moran) will vote against the supplemental appropriations bill to fund the war in Afghanistan and the IMF. [...]

CQ reports that in order to pass the supplemental, leadership needs to flip 18 of the 51 Democrats who voted against it the first time. But Moran didn't vote against it the first time -- he voted for it.

Bottom line: They're losing votes, not gaining them.

The inclusion of Graham-Lieberman, which would block the release of the detainee photos, coupled with the phone calls people have been putting in to their Representatives, are driving things in the opposite direction.

Jane states the obvious: Rahm won't be happy.

Kagro X (from D Kos) Tweets: This bill really is a crap stew.

I previously posted about the possibility of the Dems blocking the Graham-Lieberman amendment here.
