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

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?
