Yes Stays Yes...Oberstar Accepts Senate Abortion Language. Plus: Rush Talks About The HQ

Not that surprising given he's a liberal and part of the Democratic hierarchy (he's chair of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee).

Minnesota Rep. James Oberstar, an ardent backer of the House abortion restrictions, will vote for the final package after a further review of the Senate's language, giving top Democrats a critical endorsement as they lean on their rank-and-file to back the Senate bill.

"I wanted to see the language, understand it better, have conversations with Sen. Nelson," Oberstar said Wednesday. "On balance, it does what we need to do."

Meanwhile Rush was just talking up the whip count that Gabe posted. If you are stopping by looking for that, I think this is the post Rush was referring to.

Note: I changed the headline because he says Oberstar wasn't part of his Stupak 12 and was always in his Yes count,, so no loss to the cause.

More information from Gabe about members to contact here.
