BUMPED: Just announced NO VOTE TAKING PLACE TONIGHT !!

(Politico) — House Republican leaders have delayed a vote on Speaker John Boehner’s package to raise the nation’s debt ceiling, at the tail end of a long day of vote counting.  House Majority Leader Eric Cantor’s (R-Va.) office says the vote will still be held Thursday evening, but the delay may be an indication the votes aren’t totally locked down for passage.
For hours, Boehner has been engaged in intense one-on-one meetings with Republicans in an effort to win today’s fight.
Rep. Louie Gohmert, a conservative Texas Republican, emerged from Boehner’s suite of offices — which include Cantor’s space — and said he is a “bloody, beaten-down no.”
Several sources say the South Carolina delegation — which includes five Republicans — could be key in getting the vote across the finish line. Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) visited the leadership office suite in the Capitol Thursday evening.
In the closing hours before a critical debt-limit vote, the speaker was pulling Republicans off the floor and meeting with them in his ceremonial office on the second floor of the Capitol as he tries to make sure he has at least 217 votes to pass his deficit package.  (read more)
