What Kucinich Will Have to Walk Back if He Flip Flops
Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio is holding a press conference at 10 a.m. tomorrow to announce his vote on the health care bill. Kucinich voted "no" on the House bill in November. So it seems very likely that he's going to flip his vote to "yes"–Kucinich wouldn't rebuke Obama so publicly, would he?
