House vote on Iraq supplemental postponed until Friday
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The House leadership has postponed the vote planned for Thursday on the Iraq Supplemental bill until Friday as Democrats scramble to find the 218 votes needed to pass it, according to two Democrat leadership sources.
One House leadership Democrat told CNN that they are "grinding it out" and are into "single digits" in terms of how many votes they still need. The source said that is now "all about one on one conversations," but would not say who the leadership is targeting. The House will start six hours of debate on the bill on Thursday and then wrap up with two additional hours and the vote on Friday.
