Minnick Faces Moment Of Truth

With President Obama forging ahead on health care reform, the moment of truth is arriving for wavering Democrats who would prefer that the issue just went away. Take Walt Minnick, a freshman from Idaho. The conservative Democrat voted against health care reform when it first came through the House. When the Associated Press recently asked Minnick if he might change his previous no vote to a yes, he declined to answer, putting him on the AP's list of ten Democrats who might possibly switch. His office responded by calling the AP to say that there was no way he was voting yes the next time around/Ryan Grim, Huffington Post. More here. H/T: Dan of the County

Question: Will Walt waver?
