CNN: Bill Clinton is making whip calls for HCR

I wonder if Clinton is being used on Marion Berry or Arkansas or John Tanner of Tennessee.

http://news.gather.com/viewArticle.action?articleId=281474978118589


The Health bill that is slated for three votes tomorrow and there is lots at stake tonight when it comes to getting the votes from the lawmakers. It was announced tonight that President Obama has enlisted another health bill supporter to make the final push. A familiar face, former President William Clinton will be making phone calls and talking to those who still have not declared their votes.

The exclusive report from CNN said that Bill Clinton was using his pull to see if he can help assist to get the bill passed. A heated debate, no matter what your position, the vote tomorrow will likely be watched by millions of Americans and the response will be debated.

4. Two years ago today, who'd'a thunk it?
(Other than me, that is.)

It's all starting to come together ... first these baby-steps in health care ... soon, the economy ... our impatience was painful, but I think as soon as we start to see some Change, it really will be something We Can Believe In.

Just keep him away from the Kryptonite, fergadsakes!

--d!

...I'll personally campaign against you if you don't vote".

6. I heard some commentators the other day saying Clinton was the strongest
arm-twister of them all (including LBJ!) so you never know -- that could be exactly what he's saying. :hi:
