" Twenty tan and what Democrats can be expected. To happen and you were just saying mining town only it's going to be --"

" Kennedy. Rough ride for Democrats in and we are getting ready and you know I would say. There are probably forty seats that are. Gonna have to be fought for at least forty and in the house and another ten. In the -- that -- the good news at ten in the Senate the good news is that good number of those seats where we're hoping for. Civil war break out between the conservatives and the GOP right and and that will be you know like Crist and rubio. I think is gonna be a bloodbath in Florida and yet you would know more about Florida politics. I just think that anywhere I don't see that this is about as of about what -- what all of us health care plan that's. For 2010 I don't know that healthcare will play. I -- you know I am well yeah it will try to balance itself out because they beat the commercials will move. Will balance each other out. You're against health care if you years you know if you can thank you for this time it's for people who --"

" And that the money and the fact that everybody you know sort of like. Putting put it that stopping Linda Obama agenda was stopped health care because of economic -- package. And it's really been means staying at the hold. Both I think socially and economically about what is going on in this country people. Either feel very strongly one way -- another. I think that it is cause. Obviously a rift and and you know the very creative but Pelosi. And a lot of compromises for her to have the different caucuses in the different. Groups to make this go through that obviously the sun is -- really hard time since the Senate health care is an important why pay apple and that's when I."

" I think it's extremely important any Obama says that he founded president on -- Harry Reid needs help can't you have to leave his -- I think the Democrats have helped Arafat will be healthy and I mean that give them the political capital they need. I think it felt it in election I think it and how very unit that the more mild earth."

" And Democrat. It will be the Democrat yes that's what I think -- passes yeah and then for Democrats and a lot of conservatives are saying that's -- that's for Democrats because people are so scared about. Costs but I just don't I think I do really effort in I I think if it goes down it's a problem for Obama because he loses ladies and -- yeah."

" It but didn't the problem with a -- that I think with the health -- issue right today is when you look at the polls. It's split 30%. 30% 31 at 30% of the -- yeah."

" And I understand what we can hurt and without saying now it's saying I'm out on us -- since we put those up for him the most recent -- all on healthcare and got -- really interesting it's an issue what has he won't 2000. If the economy content -- yeah the economy out how to make a mean. -- a -- the attention span isn't long enough."

" Using -- I think I yeah it may argue that it. You know it might work against a -- that was a distraction. From buying. People feeling like he was focusing on jobs and those kind of things that I really yeah I think that. I think that success begets success and heat can successfully get this through. That everything. Use thing for president to get done to get health care passed and and and I think as well as unpopular as far as the money because not -- and it's -- and the war the minute that passes if it passes on people trying to convince people this is good for you of the sabathia and let's face it it's gonna be so watered down. That's really not gonna be that -- at all it's gonna be an accomplice legislative accomplishment but it's not gonna be this radical. It reform that I think when they start it's still doing it when it happens because the later it happens in the warranted to into the next year I think that is so much harder for Democrats out there I can't read that. Plan for raping and I know rally in Portland is that the that the polish -- at the bill it if you supported that perhaps nothing but love is another this event though I was looking bar I was like -- as one that. That shows that I can ask the question. Do you. Think this is gonna make your health care better or worse and that's what you're basically just said. But if you add that together the that we get the number that the act together. Not -- don't really know and you know you no it's gases that. I I can't do without the numbers. It actually ends up being more I'm Obama favors conservatives are charged kinda spinach that it's against I don't know I'm gonna -- our look at the numbers yet another clip from what I found on MSM just saying that today that says that we have found that I've seen them up today it's just. It's just the question what the answer to tell you also think that changes week -- what that. OK I can't add. It I am I can't see what the numbers are don't think it changes week by week actually really the timing of this that's what Obama was saying today -- me you know about getting. I think it's insisting that -- brain Bill Clinton not because it just seems like he does that. Relied on my lot I think but I didn't know you think this is not somebody who works in politics that. When the presidents do something successful. People like it. Often even when they don't like thinking that they did -- like that it'll ask some getting after nobody people opposed NAFTA or didn't care about it but when Bill Clinton passed it. There was a sense that something great just happen and then they like it and then I don't know what you picked by the."

" Why did Sosa I think there's real designer let's get this over. -- went into we want it over with this year and I think that's also gonna push the Senate because they don't wanna take it into that next year's political."

" They have a lot of obstacles right now I mean I don't think it can possibly happen by the issue because it just. I just do you think that went on the wheels innocent way and I think Harry Reid has the will and even though I'm in my clinic at -- conference. I doubt that even a bit when it does it it does get their conference you're going to have no funding for abort and I doubt you're I doubt you're going public option if you -- you very mild very weak public option. It's going to be a very moderate bill which I think he's I don't support it I can go back average American would support it by the would be good."

" You know it it was still an L of the five bills all of the five built at the minimum. You're going to ensure -- 25 million people. 25 million people will get in short as a result of whatever goes through and that's it that's but that's as good as them."

" Carlos through you hasn't been unfortunate case I I'll and they I can't I can't Republicans have overplayed their hands on health care bill because I think the idea that it's gonna like we're actually take away our freedom and our liberty and all these horrible things are gonna happen. Since my house yeah it's clear outside -- look at that everything like Democrats don't really -- about -- question let us what it what that but what the conservatives have been arguing this doomsday. Scenario over the health care bill was like you said is gonna and that really need and we are very sorry about audacity and that's likely isn't the isn't going to is just not gonna happen to good."

" House bill that's what I I don't I am a moderate belt air I think I'll Bel Air I think they're going into the night that the American. Apparently you'll -- 97 million Americans. -- would be 968. Record one -- there. And they they say and what about the doctor they're going to click and unhappy and that's scary that air -- You you look cute yeah."

" Do your homework. Hit -- yes I mean I just I I think that it really depends on and on what comes out at the end. But I mean I don't know what to say. Why -- I don't I don't know. Because I don't break -- a -- and that's what and they reported seeing at CNN and MSNBC and author women and fall I think it's."

" I think he can come up but any any -- you like kind of you know and I don't. I don't know that 40000 doctors -- going to be able to find a different line of yeah now anyway so there I so many insurance companies. With so many dog jobs were for Andy's so you know I. -- and then I can think."

" That the focus really is going to be more not on the the Republicans -- really on the Democrats and how they're gonna work out. Getting these 67. You know votes because of and the."

" Remembered -- the voters don't care about process and you know I watching us -- our very anymore and they underestimated. That you're back Clinton making edited and I think that -- I think that they are looking at night on my dad had been hoping and they're hoping to peel off. -- bad -- and three Republicans you know that they're hoping to get. Try to just try to peel off and just to keep to keep their policy to gather as much as they can't. I don't know what will happen on the abortion paying my sense is that actually it will have to stay in order to keep I don't I don't feel that -- what do you think the company."

" Out I think it'll happen and I I don't know about a -- president. -- that civilians fleeing. I can happen is Harry Reid Harry Reid has. It's gonna have a tough fight that he will win. And back get back in Nevada and you know it'll be a hell of a battle. It's -- Harry Reid can raise money into the battle -- the."

" I think that by the end of this year why I don't know I couldn't do that I didn't really want to do it that you get it now they have to get up the quality and the Internet -- The public option -- no on except. Option that's going to be at -- long that probably will get the public probably end up being trigger heart some sort of opt out or opt in -- it's not gonna and that means the same thing but some sort of bill that's gonna -- it. I you know I mean. Yeah I mean -- of the fact that they got through the house is yeah. I mean in solidly for Clinton was willing to do to get bill -- You know it's not like she is really willing to have. Very influential members in her pocket to get at Milton so they're gonna get they know they need to do this and then. You know that it doesn't mean I'm not saying it definitely well -- I'm saying that I it can yes no reason they can't even tougher."

" Often close you don't read have to get the pump up public option out any clothes he didn't. There's I think a lot more weighing on the Senate elephant much tougher battle also not at the end let's -- the public option through let's make it you bargain that the adding that is that much tougher I I can email -- I don't I don't want him I think that ignoring you vote for some reason. You know it's not coming."

" I mean isn't it but so would not -- general consensus do you think that that it was easy to get to the house and the Senate and now. A paid for instance in the boot from the senators Clinton. Yeah that it would be dead in the water the way it arrived. Mean obviously that's been partisan but. Don't you fight in general. From both sides the second set it it's a topic tougher fight in the Senate and especially. I."

" ask -- when I -- they wanna come to compromise I think they wanna get a bill through I want I think both sides of the house. All the senators want to be able to go home and say. We've worked it out we did what we were supposed to do we all acknowledge there was a problem with health care. It's not perfect what we did but we did it I think both sides wanna be able to go back to their constituents and and I think we we made it work because right you know right now that the realities. Yeah -- the the polls on how congress works are down around twenty."

" It doesn't doesn't want to ask that if the -- in in the last two decades but you know marriage it can't get there are -- it's a narrow majority but it's a majority in the Senate and barely -- just went with Lieberman but that it. That they can get snow -- go with them. Democrats know that if this goes down. There's room. Right I mean that you think. You meaning to ask him but he hasn't come yet. Nothing because down at. I think I mean until the horrible loss for the president and I think that's. And yeah I mean it's catastrophic but they're gonna do everything they can't."

" Except for. And when they have to go back there hosting it's I mean I think that really what they're saying about the timing you write and would be so much better I think that could be this year. For the Democrats but if it gets into. Next here. Did you that is -- that is hitting very hip hop from the yes this -- as I every day it gets tougher yeah that the -- I'm hopeful about is bill. But also as the elections in action on Kenya I don't want it done yet."

" I just I don't think anybody wants to take this home for Christmas."

" Yes they sell it. What do you that you see the issue really being this bad -- the deficit jobs we look at this. Anything that's -- all about just I'm gonna find my work I have my not working that's going to be the."

" That's that's family and and and it you know they've the other that the it's not just are you working."

" We all know somebody who isn't really and that's you know that's that's not good for. Any politician most you know yeah."

strip federal funds from insurance plans that cover abortions may well saved Nancy Pelosi health care reform bill which passed the house and on late night vote last Saturday. The deal negotiated by Michigan Democrat Bart
Well one Nancy Pelosi clearly didn't want this amendment she gave it up only at the end when she viewed the votes. I think the criticism
And I would argue that this Rahm Emanuel the White House probably smiling at this debate because of everybody -- and about abortion and not focusing on the other real problems of this bill which is that it's gonna break the federal budget. And it's gonna lead to that rationing of medical care you don't get the sense from the stories that they're smiling. Nancy Pelosi didn't give this until the very end she didn't want to -- and she realizes the cause of a problem there. I
