Despite reports on MSNBC that pro-life Democrat Bart Stupak, D-Mich., will vote for the bill, he remains a "no" vote.
I just talked to Stupak in the basement of the Capitol as he walked passed a throng of protesters calling for members to vote against the bill.
"I'm still a no vote. There is no final agreement." Stupak said.
Stupak and other pro-life Democrats are in negotiations with the White House on a deal that would involve President Obama signing some kind of executive order that would ban federal funding of abortion under the health care bill.
"We are waiting until we have an agreement with not just the White House but also the Speaker and others," Stupak said. "There is no agreement. It's still a work in progress. I think we have work to do. "

I guess that he’s holding out to the last moment so he can get the maximum graft.I despise all these people.
Stupak is a democrat.....they all cave....it’s a rule...

I couldn’t agree more. This guy and his crew have power here way beyond their abilities. I am counting the minutes until I can pull a lever against all of these idiots who have mortgaged my grandkids future.
Oh, and I think he will be bought off. If not him, then someone else.Stupak still a Firm 'NO'
The dems are desperate, and they have their pockets full of our stolen tax dollars. Money talks with dems.
He is not a firm no. As the article explains he is a yes just as soon as they figure out how to bribe him, blackmail him, or trick him into voting yes. If he were a firm no then there would be nothing to negotiate.
