The S-CHIP hits the fan part II? or III?
background here.

via Michelle Malkin.
The House passed a revised children’s health proposal Thursday,265-142, but not by the two-thirds margin that supporters will need if President Bush vetoes the measure as promised. The vote is still 7 shy of overcoming a Bush veto. 14 GOPers were unavailable to vote, a majority of those were in Southern California tending to their districts. GOP leadership questioned the timing of the vote with so many our of town. The rumors are that supporters of the bill had bough air time and ads aimed at GOPers who were in shaky districts and the vote had to take place today for those ads to be effective.
