Here's a good, subtantive interview with Bart Stupak from Greta Van Sustern. She may be one of the few - if not only - MSM figures who are going out and talking to wavering House Democrats, rather than running the same tedious clips of Pelosi, Reid & Obama. Stupak's scorn for the Senate ("they have strange rules over there"), the House leadership ("we can't negotiate because there is no bill"), and the process is palpable. At one point he complains that they have been promised 7 days to review the final bill, but the "deadline" to pass the bill is a week away. "Are they going to give us a bill at midnight tonight?"
Stupak does a great job laying out the absurdity over the abortion impasse. As he keeps pointing out, federal law has been: "no federal funding for abortions." Just this year, Obama has signed a number of laws hewing to this principle. And yet now, it's no good? It doesn't make sense. Not that I care. If Dems want to kill health care reform because they like abortion more, that's their hang up.
