Updated to add: BUDGET DEAL PASSES, BUT BOEHNER STRUGGLES WITH HIS CAUCUS....

<...>

But pay close attention to the partisan breakdown. Most Democrats opposed the deal (81 to 108) while most Republicans supported it (179 to 59).

That's good news for Boehner, right? Well, not really. The day after the deal was struck, GOP leaders said they expected some defections on this, but thought the total would go no higher than 40, and the leadership was prepared to "work strenuously to keep the number below 30."

The final tally of GOP defections was 59.

Also note, this means divisions among Republicans were so significant, the budget deal would have died, rather easily, were it not for House Democrats who once again saved Boehner.

I'm sure the Speaker is pleased the deal went through, but he can't be pleased with the margin -- a fourth of Boehner's own caucus rejected the budget deal he personally negotiated.
