A Lot of Convincing

" Senator nice to see user through the zebra alike -- here does Canada. We're pretty -- room indeed it is our right Saturday night -- squeaker for the Democrats. In the house represents what to think that."

" Well it broken up arms to finally get it over the top but they lost one out of seven Democrats in the house -- I think worst bombing to the American people's opposition of this bill all the polls indicate. Substantial opposition -- this particular type of health care reform particularly. The you know deep seated opposition among singers."

" So how do you break those arms to twist those arms to get those votes and each of them such and historic voting when he -- was closest to votes."

" Well I think what the president was saying was that it was about him and his administration. Not about the substance -- and they all understood that the substance was not supported by the American people. And I think they probably responded to -- on appeal by the president that this was about the success of his administration. About passing his signature or. It its subject and I think and AM party loyalty got a over the top but there were -- us one out of seven who were. Understood the American they were not for the."

" that -- and I wake cast a vote out of loyalty rather out of substance if indeed you're right benefits and if this is if in the vote is. About the president's administration what happens when it goes over to the Senate is -- going to get that same."

" here well a lot of congressman almost -- safe districts don't have any real competition actually have a lot of -- it is over here we all represented -- it. Most the states are not just totally safe. Have to compete but the third of the -- will be up every. Two years and a number of democratic senators over here from reddish State's Republican -- states. -- know that there's overwhelming opposition back home in addition of that on the Senate you have to get sixty votes. -- get more than a simple majority. To do almost everything and certainly something that's controversial so the challenge to the democratic leadership has over here. Is to try to figure out of they're not Democrats will take a bullet through the pain. The past they really bad bill which we know at its core. We'll raise taxes. Cut Medicare and increase premiums for all Americans you have health insurance now."

" Do you expect -- to me whenever this vote occurs would you expect to be a squeaker like the house or not minister of getting that your hands on what's happening here among the different members Republicans and send it Democrat. Do you expect a squeaker vote here."

" Yeah I won't be a landslide and they'll be -- to -- to be able to pass that I think passing and is very much in doubt on the site. You know all the Republicans are opposed. Many of the Democrats are opposed to it -- reaction to show you how they try to get sixty votes because they're gonna have to convince. There's significant number of Democrats basically. To take a bullet for the -- Which Democrats you see right now who are struggling with -- not -- for the team as you say well I'm not gonna single people out. They've got enough pressure already without me pointing to them. But by and large they're people who represent states where they had to act like -- campaign -- Republican in order to wanna. And so they understand they've got sort of -- right constituencies they understand what the polls that the American people are against this bill. Particular seniors against this bill. And they're gonna have to weigh. Their constituents bizarre versus the president of the united --"

" Which -- of what pressure from presence the senators from the state of Florida senator Nelson in particular he might have -- seniors -- because of a huge senior population. There -- a lot of singers and tomorrow. When do you expect this boat to -- current."

" Well that'll be up to senator Reid and he'll have to get sixty votes to start the debate and sixty votes -- and then he ought to decide at what point he has enough votes again today. And will be listening what if this because I'm sure they've been bringing their -- them one by one. I know they have done trying to convince them even start today and were a long way from finishing the give you -- violence. We spent four weeks last congress -- form. Within the last ten years we've spent -- weeks ago this will be -- multi week. Many amendment process in the United States. On a bill of this magnitude which seeks to reorganize --"

" Tactically when -- senator Reid would like -- that vote sooner or later we like slow breathing room or is he wanted to hurry to do this on the sort of the wave of what's going on the house."

" I think it's gonna dependent -- on his vote -- he's gonna wanna go to when he thinks he's got the vote."

" Looking actually brings -- US senator and my member's party sits down and says you know we know where do you stand at that that. Are the ones closer uncertain how to is that they actually come into his office that."

" Yes I think so what it really worries then what he would leave -- special deals -- over in the house. In order get enough Democrats to my guess is the same process shall go on over here."

" And then after the Senate if Britain where this -- get to the floor has got a good about. That's up in the -- that we reconcile whatever comes the Senate went up."

" Job whatever passes the Senate if something does pass and I hope it doesn't. Needs to be reconciled with a house version and it'll go back of both houses. For a final vote and that vote to will require sixty votes and job so thank you sir thank you addresses it."
