Default Boehner bill vote in about 45 minutes

@LukeRussert: Update: House #GOP floor Whip team says final vote on #Boehner #debt bill now between 5:45-6:15pm.

Edit: they are voting right now, 6:10 eastern live coverage: http://www.cspan.org/Events/House-to...10737423174-2/

Edit: Boehner bill passes with one extra vote 218. No Democratic votes, 10 abstaining. Now it goes to the Senate tonight to die**

Thanks for 2 days of wasting our time, House Republicans, now can we just raise the debt ceiling with a simple one-sentence bill, and then work on jobs and the economy?

** Actually McConnell and Reid are working on compromise bill to try and pass tonight.
