Democrat Leaders Whipping Democrat Votes on Keep Your Plan Bill By Threatening That Big-Money Progressive Donors Will Close Their Wallets

Ah. I see. We're not even going to pretend there is a good policy reason to oppose the bill, eh?

We're going straight to "vote against it or we'll cut off your money."

House Democratic leaders are privately warning rank and file Dems that a vote for this bill – and other anti-Obamacare legislation – could alienate leading Democratic donors heading into 2014, a source familiar with internal discussions tells me. “Votes against the Affordable Care Act are going to turn off a lot of these top national progressive donors,” the source said in characterizing the arguments.

Dianne Feinstein Too?

Feinstein: "I have decided to cosponsor Senator Mary Landrieu’s (D-La.) legislation: Keeping the Affordable Care Act Promise Act."
