Perhaps these members need to hear from you:
Budget Committee Chairman John Spratt (D-S.C.), Science Committee Chairman Bart Gordon (D-Tenn.) and Natural Resources Committee Chairman Nick Rahall (D-W.Va.) are undecided.
Interesting, since Gordon sounded like he was likely to flip. He’s retiring at the end of this year.
Rahall was a “yes” last time around.
Also note The Hill is reporting: “Meanwhile, Transportation Committee Chairman Jim Oberstar (D-Minn.), who supports Rep. Bart Stupak’s (D-Mich.) anti-abortion rights language, is leaning yes, according to his spokesman.” An Oberstar constituent told me last week he thought a compromise on his pro-life views was pretty much unthinkable.
I think the “maybe” members of Congress are going to be giving a lot of blurry, contradictory statements until the bidding stops.
