In Non-Scott Brown News (Voinovich: Not a vote for health care)
NRO Online ^ | 01/19/10 | Daniel Foster

* Outgoing Ohio senator George Voinovich (R., Ohio) has a lunch at the Oval Office today, ostensibly to talk about the national debt. But some are wondering aloud if the Democrats will try to court Voinovich as their new 60th vote on health-care reform.

UPDATE: ABC News Tweets:

Sen Voinovich at WH today says "I am not a vote for the health care bill, period."

Voinovich is the dumba$$ who said he was for the Fairness Doctrine because “he believed in fairness”.

Voinovich is a lot of things. He is a centrist, a pain in the A$$, and often times a RINO. However, he is not a Marxist. He has stated many times that he is AGAINST this bill and will not be courted to change his vote.

He is meeting about debt. He wants the debt to be reduced and is willing to talk budget cuts as well as taxes to do it. He is a problem, but not in the health care realm.

Sen Voinovich already is on record saying the Healthcare Bill would force a local medical device company to move out of the country due to new taxes. He’s always been against it.

"He is a problem, but not in the health care realm."

Yeah, that is until Reid and Pelosi offers him an "Ohio Purchase" deal...

Trust no one right now. "Hugh" sums of money are being offered for votes! (I'm series...)
