Bush Vetoes Bipartisan Child Health Insurance Plan

Item: Bush Vetoes Child Health Insurance Plan /Associated Press

More Info: President Bush, in a sharp confrontation with Congress, on Wednesday vetoed a bipartisan bill that would have dramatically expanded children’s health insurance. It was only the fourth veto of Bush’s presidency, and one that some Republicans feared could carry steep risks for their party in next year’s elections. The Senate approved the bill with enough votes to override the veto, but the margin in the House fell short of the required number.

Question: Would this veto make you more or less likely to vote for a Republican candidate in the 2008 presidential election?
