Kucinich remains uncommitted on healthcare bill
Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, who flew with President Barack Obama, then walked into an Ohio senior citizen center with the chief executive in time to hear a voice from the audience yell out, "Vote yes."

A smiling Obama turned to the liberal lawmaker and said, "Did you hear that, Dennis?" Then, turning back to the audience, he added, "Go ahead, say that again."

"Vote yes!" came back the reply.

Kucinich, who said later he remains uncommitted, is one of 37 Democrats currently in the House who voted against Obama's legislation when it cleared the House last fall.

4. I asked the same question...
...most of the responders said they'd stick by him.

I think he's looking for a way to make it okay.

9. They're already anticipating it and changing their colors as evidenced by some
of the posts I've read today.

6. A friend of mine just got off the phone with Dennis, at about 11:30pm
He's a firm "NO".

7. He's wants to look reasonable while he's back in Ohio
but in the end he'll vote against it...

The Dems won't need his vote.
