Nomentum V: No Vote Touted by AP as Possible Flip to "Yes" Now Comes Down With Nomentum Fever
Via Hot Air's round-up of all the Nomentum (most of it posted here, but still, more good stuff), another Representative cheerleaded by Obama's wannabe-girlfriends at AP as a good, solid chance of voting for this Comprehensive Piece of Shit says Yes to Nomentum.
Rep Frank Kratovil of Maryland, a previous No vote who was now said to be undecided, will vote No on the Senate health reform proposal, his spokesman confirms.
“He would vote against it,” the spokesman, Kevin Lawlor, says. Crucially, Kratovil would vote against the Senate bill even if there’s some kind of verbal guarantee that it would be fixed via reconciliation later, Lawlor says.
The only way Kratovil — one of the targets of a barrage of NRCC robocalls hammering the reform proposals as “dangerous” — could support the Senate bill is if it’s fixed first via reconciliation, before the House votes on it. But no one expects this to happen.
Because it seems to be illegal to use reconciliation to fix a law which is not even a law.
But that's just a no-staying-no. Welcome, of course, as the pool of possible no-to-yes votes dwindles and dwindles.
But what about some hot yes-to-no action?! We've got some of that too!
