Stupak's feeling a bit lonelier. Charlie Wilson (OH) all but confirms support for health care bill.

Charlie Wilson, All But Confirming His Yes Vote

Ohio's Charlie Wilson just made a statement on that press call in support of the health-care legislation I mentioned earlier. "As a pro-life Catholic," he said, "I think the language in the Senate bill clearly ensures that there will be no federal funding of abortion."

He went on to say "I'm taking my time to review" the reconciliation language, but he ended his brief remarks by again stating: "I'm confident that the Senate language upholds my pro-life values."

If you read the bill differently and happen to have any influence with Congressman Wilson, you might want to have a chat with him, and quickly. It sounds like his definitive "yes" is imminent.

It's bullshit and bluster.

7. Yup, exactly. You can tell by looking at his face when he gives an interview. He's upset - he
does not have enough partners in crime to stop the bill and he knows it.
