From Roll Call:

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Wednesday that she has the votes to pass a health care overhaul in the House, even as the bill remains stalled in the Energy and Commerce Committee.

"I have no question that we have the votes on the floor of the House to pass this legislation," Pelosi told reporters.

The Speaker said she still intends to put the package to a vote next week but left open the possibility of keeping the House in session past the chamber's scheduled adjournment of July 31. The Senate is poised to adjourn one week later on Aug. 7, but that date also may slip because of health care reform.

The National Republican Congressional Committee is already trying to pinpoint who may have changed their minds. Here is an excerpt from a press release the NRCC distributed just after Pelosi made the announcement:

"After expressing serious concern over a government takeover of the health care industry, has Jason Altmire suddenly changed his position? House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) is suddenly claiming she has the votes. With the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) stating that the Democrats' government-run health care bill will increase costs, run up the deficit and raise taxes, Jason Altmire's constituents can only hope that he isn't planning on supporting such a disastrous policy."
