You may be right. They have to get in front of the people and ‘splain why this Healthcare Bill was so wonderful... and how they are all so wonderful for “fighting” for us. Praising of all the crooks... rah...rah...rah!

“So why is the MSM (including Fox) acting as though it’s in the bag?”

It’s disinformation. Can’t have the proles gettin all uppity now. As to the “why?”: just follow the money.

Michael Moore is unhappy with Bart Stupak.

And Matheson looks like s strong possibility.

Update 3-20, 2:35 PM: The list below is of the thirteen remaining truly undecided members. Pelosi needs all thirteen to win. There have been others that still say they are undecided but have really given strong indications of how they will vote, and almost all of those are the “leaning yes” types. So Pelosi could still lose one or two that we don’t expect. Of these true undecided, though, the first five voted “no” last time, and this would be a flip. I feel very confident about Nye, who has consistently made signals that sound like “no,” and he is in a very tough re-election fight. I’ve also been counting Space, who told Democratic leaders yesterday that he was strongly leaning towards a “no.” Berry, Carney and Kanjorski are pro-life. Though they aren’t in Stupak’s group, it’s still a factor for them. Kanjorski would also lose jobs in his district from a Sallie Mae processing center which would be negatively affected by the student loan provisions in this bill. Baird and Tanner are retiring, and they clearly don’t want to vote yes, but I expect that they will if Pelosi needs them.

Baird, Brian
Davis, Lincoln
Matheson, Jim
Nye, Glenn
Tanner, John
Foster, Bill
Kanjorski, Paul
Michaud, Mike
Ortiz, Solomon
Carney, Chris
Pomeroy, Earl
Space, Zack
Schrader, Kurt

“I still beleive there will be some surprise “no” votes.”

I thought this as well, perhap ssying “yes” to avoid the Chicago thugs.

I’ve had 57 faxes in the que since 11:40 this morning. None have gone through since then. So frustrating, errrr.

There are probably at least 50 spineless cowards who STILL have not really decided, who are just praying the deal is done before they have to vote, so they can jump on the winning side when no courage is needed.

It’s a good thing i don’t have a supply of bricks in the house. If I did I would lose a tv every time that lying sack of s—t is on.

Because of his stance on his Pro-Life principles, I must say that up to now, Stupak has been heroic. If he holds out, even if this thing does pass, he will have earned that description.

I admire him for that, in part, because my pro-life views are not as strong as his I feel. Shames me in a way, a good way. I will re-evaluate my beliefs in this matter.

Yup...I think Boehner may possibly have a few of these locked up.

Funny...we keep hearing how Pelosi is talking to this one or that one. And Boehner's not talking to anybody?

Don't think so!!
