Jo hn McCain (R-Ariz.) announced on Friday that he will vote against the latest GOP effort to repeal ObamaCare, potentially dooming the legislation.
“I cannot in good conscience vote for the Graham-Cassidy proposal. I believe we could do better working together, Republicans and Democrats, and have not yet really tried," he said in a statement, referring to the legislation spearheaded by GOP Sens. Lindsey Graham (S.C) and Bill Cassidy (La.).
McCain's announcement leaves GOP leadership with no room for error. They need 50 GOP senators to support the legislation and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has already said he will vote no. Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) on Friday said she is leaning against the bill.

Thank God.
It comes down to the two women who voted no last time, Collins and Murkowski. I can't imagine then voting yes if McCain is a no.
I don't trust Rand Paul not to change his mind, but maybe McCain's announcement will give some other Republicans the courage to say no.
Let's hope that it does.
Good news!
It's kind of funny to see McCain McCain his good friend, Lindsey Graham.
I guess since he can no longer tell the voters he'll do one thing when he's up for election and then vote the other way, I guess he's just going to keep doing it to republican senators.
I wonder how many more times he'll assure his support to Republicans privately only to switch his vote to maximize favorable coverage from the mainstream media? He's a very slimy man.
