Live feed of House voting: http://www.cnn.com/video/data/2.0/video/cvplive/cvpstream1.html

Already enough repub votes to pass. Default avoided.

We're all shocked.  There was < 0.002% chance of an actual default.

The chance may be a bit higher than that... given enough time.

Not a chance.  Both parties get massive massive donations from big biz... be real.  The only thing that could happen is deciding to extend the debt limit but not budget money for nonessential govt services.  Looks like we will get about 21 days of that in 3 months.  

Too bad it wont include the bubbas at DHS and last a few more months, otherwise people would start realizing how worthless half those federal services are.
"given enough time"  Wink
When it defaults, it likely won't be due to any particular vote.

But Yes, all these "crisis" are manufactured to soak the political donors.
