A friend of the site e-mailed us about an hour ago to say that he spoke to a Democratic congressman he’s pals with earlier tonight. Quote:
He tells me with certainty that they have plenty of votes and that some yes votes will be allowed to vote no if they choose for their protection. He says that everyone’s internal polling has been much better than expected. He says at this point that last sticking point is whether to give Stupak a separate vote, which Pelosi is considering.
Lest you think this is a sketchy “I’ve got this friend, see…” tip, I assure you that he did give us the name of his congressional source.

You betcha, but in what form?
SCOTUS is our last hope here.
It won’t matter either way. This bill is eventually going to be repealed one way or the other.
Some say the SCOTUS won’t get involved because of separation of powers
If all their internal pooling is so positive, why is there a need to let some blue dogs vote no?
If they have plenty of votes why do they even care about Stupak?
This is BS.
I wasn’t one sending early thanks to Stupak. This worm always turns.
Not quite.
Vote the Democrats out in November, vote 0bozo out in 2012, and repeal it before the bill goes into effect in 2014,
It’s all a big bluff. If she had the votes, she would have already passed it and would not be talking to Stupak, who she had written off earlier in the week. She’s playing ‘chicken’ with her rank and file.
Keep calling the Representatives and Senators in your state. Don't get side tracked with this drivel.
"Exit question: Is this all just lefty spin being fed to Firedoglake by peeved pro-choicers? We’ll find out at Stupak’s presser tomorrow. 11 a.m.!"
Miss Didi told me he’s holding a presser tomorrow morning.
This should have a question mark in your title. This changes the whole context of the article. This is “lies” and “propaganda from the Left. They are trying to get us discouraged and trying to get some kind of momentum to make some “no’s” go to “yes.” If you think they have a deal look at Greta Van Susteren’s interview with Stupak and judge for yourself. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2475194/posts

I don’t know why any of them is concerned with “cover”....
Hell, they’re ALL gonna be voted out in November.
I’m sick to death of the sight of ALL of them.
That's precisely why they will have to get involved. If Pelousi uses the “Slaughter” maneuver, it makes it even easier to strike down. One way or the other we are going to go after this bill.
Keep calling the Representatives and Senators in your state. Don’t get side tracked with this drivel.

RIGHT ! KEEP CALLING !!
This is not over; we can sill defeat this bill.
hotair.com? I’ll believe that. This Dem “psych-ops” is quite KGB’esque.. Only fitting for a party that has an American version of PRAVDA here covering for them. Total B.S. this is.
