Boehner postpones vote on continuing resolution

House leadership will postpone the vote on the continuing resolution to fund the government until next week, meaning Boehner and Cantor don't have the votes to pass it. A whip count reports only about 200 Republicans support the CR. The Republican holdouts want to defund Obamacare. The defund Obamacare bloc is headed by Congressmen Jim Jordan of Ohio and Tom Graves of Georgia. As the leadership needs 218 to pass the CR Jordan and Graves currently hold veto power.
The CR is complicated by the fact that in the Senate John McCain and Lindsey Graham would like to help Harry Reid undo the sequester, about the only success Republicans have had at trimming the budget. All things come at a price and possibly a coalition to defund Obamacare can be formed in the Senate with McCain and Graham but the price would mean undoing the sequester.
Kevin McCarthy argues that the debt limit bill offers another and better chance to defund Obamacare. That would of course mean forcing the country to the edge of default, something that sunk support for both the Tea Party and Obama the last time it was tried. Still most Americans would like to see Obamacare gone but the House leadership is not a well font of courage. We shall see.

Update: If this doesn't give the Republicans the courage to defund Obamacare what would?

According to the poll, support for Obamacare appears to be dropping.
In January 51% said they favored all or most of the provisions in the new law. Now that figure is down to 39%.
Support has dropped in virtually all demographic categories, but it has fallen the farthest among two core Democratic groups - women and Americans who make less than $50,000.
