>> an absolutely real shocker out of washington, ed. there's a lot of confidence in the gop leadership staff this morning even saying by the time the night is over we'll have passed two bills out of the house that have raised the debt limit. well, that's just not the case. around 6:00 this bill was pulled. it was clear they didn't have the votes. there were rumors they were two votes away. they became six votes and then 10 and 12. the number is around there. but this is a huge setback because it shows that john boehner, as of right now, cannot pass a bill through the house of representatives to raise the debt limit that every single democrat in the house and in the united states senate has said they are against. this is clearly a republican bill despite the fact that republicans said it was drawn up in a bipartisan way over the weekend with harry reid. they can't get their own members onboard and they said, look, i'm not going to walk the plank for something the senate said they will defeat. it's unclear what exactly the path way is for
