channel. that is it for this special report. fair. balanced. respectful. captioned by closed captioning services, inc. captioned by closed captioning services, inc. the o'reilly factor is on tonight. >> right now we are at the point where we are going to do something historic this weekend. >> i'm going to do everything i can to keep this bill from becoming law. republicans can't beat this but the american people can. >> a nation bit early divided over the upcoming obama care vote. some of them i say joe, look, man, i mine you guys haven't messaged this well. my response is hey, man, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. >> the obama administration is working the phones. will their last minute arm twist team get the job done. dick morris will analyze.

>> we are one day closer to passing historic legislation which will make progress for the american people. >> and brand new fox news polls show dismillion approval ratings for congress. can democrats recover before the november elections? >> caution, you are about to enper the no pin zone. "the factor" begins right now! hi, everyone, i'm laura ingram reporting tonight for bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us. the new democratic healthcare strategy is the subject of talking points memo. the white house and nancy pelosi have have been fairly success of changing the healthcare debate away from the content of the bill and toured side issues such as deficit reduction. the democrats want to talk

about anything but the number of new government bureaucracies created, the reduction in healthcare insurance choices and the number of unborn children whose lives will be ended because of the bill. in a moment of unintended hilarity today, president obama heralded the bill as get this the biggest middle class tax cut in american history and even better, one of the greatest deficit reduction plans in history. but speaker pelosi is promising, remember, a medicare doctor's fix and that would undercut any claim of deficit reduction by more than $200 billion according to some estimates. of course, the real question, right, is whether this bill is going improve or harm our healthcare system. it is now beyond dispute that despite the obama/reid/pelosi spin, most americans believe it will make things worse.

only 39% of americans believe that the healthcare reform plan is going to improve the quality of healthcare and 44% say it is going to make it worse. even worse, 37% say it is going make their own family's healthcare worse and only 28% say it is going make their healthcare better. the bottom line, americans are smarter than the democrats give them credit for. if you think dealing with your insurance company now is a pain, then just wait until you have to lobby a member of congress for changes to the healthcare monsterosity once it is passed. this is the biggest con job ever foisted on the american people. this bill once signed into law will no doubt become the platform for reaching the real goal that president obama has wanted all along. a singer payor system. stay tuned. that is the memo. now, for the top story tonight. with victory in his sights, the

president was all fired up today. >> i don't know how passing healthcare will play politically but i know it is right. teddy roosevelt knew it was right. harry truman knew it was right. ted kennedy knew it was right. do not quit. do not give up. we keep on going. we are going to get this done. we are going to make history! >> despite his optimism, the arm twisting and turning for the 216 votes is still going on behind the scenes with joe biden just one of the guys working the phones on capitol hill. >> what are you telling them and what are you hearing back from them? >> i'm telling them two things. one is that, a, it does take care of preexisting conditions. b, your since rates aren't going to skyrocket. c, the insurance companies aren't going to be running the show like they were before. d, you will be in a position where you can senior insurance

that you have. once the american public realizes that yo realizes thatl get a reward for in. >> joining us, dick morris, the author of the brand new book "2010, take back america." great to see you as always. >> people order 2010 now from amazon or bn.com you can get an autographed copy. i broke my right arm signing 25,000 of them. >> if we have any money left after the healthcare reform debate that will be terrific. >> right. and i can't get medical care for my arm. >> harry reid sent apparently to two of the strongest proponents of the public option he sent an apure ranse that the public option would come up for a vote in the very near future. does this surprise you? >> i think that if obama passes this, which he may not, it still is in play, if obama passes this, i think he is going to use reconciliation to run the table. i think he will pass amnesty

for illegal immigrants with. pass cap and trade. pass financial regulation. pass the public option. between the house doing the dean to have passed and the senate doing reconciliation, he has his own little constitution going here. >> he can do that and urge pelosi and harry reid to go along with the pushthrough of all the left wing policies but that is a risky political play, is it not? and that brings me to the next question, do you think their calculus politically has been right on this. the polling is devastating on this healthcare reform and it is not positive for them? >> i think they have written off congress. i think they know they going to lose it. they know they going to be in bad shape and he said itite right. he is going for history. trying to create a permanent record.

a union card check they will do with 51 votes. i think he will atonight the entire socialist program by essentially circumventing the constitution. they accused bill clinton of selling the lincoln bedroom? right now, president obama is selling the whole white house. >> it is hard to track votes. some say they have ten votes, some people say they have four votes? >> lara, it is not true. he is trying to create that impression. i'm keeping close tabs on this obviously. in the last 48 hours we lost five votes. that is five nos have gone to yes but picked up four. four yeses have gone to no. jason altmeyer which was a big one. he switched from yes to no. corey from utica, new york. he switched from yes to no. lynch. >> i talked to bart stupak the

other night and bart stupak the other night said laura, no one is reporting this, for every two they peel off we peel one or two off. the thing is definitely in flux. i don't think you would have seen the president out today, dick, in campaign mode as he was -- >> it is five to four now, laura. >> jew wouldn't have seen obama if campaign mode so huge today. he was whipping it up. if this was a done deal why do all the campaign stops and bring out the healthcare soberhouse stories as you saw with one of the democrat vote switchers if this was was a done deal. i think they want to create an restructure and narrative of inevitablity. >> what obama probably wanted to do and pelosi wanted to do is every hour or two hours announce another switch to yes to build up the sense of inevitablity andvans

deflate the grass roots and have them stop doing phones and stop sending in money for ads and phone calls. but that is not working because he has been able to produce five switches and we have been able to produce four going the other way. i believe that what is happening is the excitement that is being generated, the incredible intensity of the tv ads, the phone calls, going on right now, it is intimidating a lot of the members of congress and they are switching back over. jason altmeyer. i was on the o'reilly show on wednesday and i talked about his vulnerability and mentioned his name and today he switches from yes to no. >> oh, it is you! you are responsible! >> that is having an effect. i think that might have played some role. go to dick morris.com and you can see 30 other targets. >> we don't have time to get into it but also the deficit reduction claims today by the president were prepostorrous,

saying this is one of the biggest deficit reduction bills in political history in the united states. i know you are all over that as well. we appreciate it as always. thank you so much. >> thank you, laura. >> have all the healthcare shenanigans destroyed the democratic party? and later the medical community wants their voices heard on obama at sharp, our goal is to reproduce every color in the world on tv.

polls show that americans are fed up with what they are seeing in washington. the congressional approval rating at just 18%. 31% of americans approve of the job that house speaker nancy pelosi is doing and president obama's approval rating at 46% with 48% disapproving. but today he said the cable networks are not focused enough on the substance of the bill and too focused on the politics. >> what does this mean in november? what does it mean to the poll numbers? is this more of an advantage for democrats for republicans? what is it going to mean for obama? will his presidency be crippled? or will he be -- or will he be the comeback kid? >> the question has the bitter hyper partisan healthcare

debate doomed the democrats or can they recover in time for the mid term elections in november. joining us, radio talk show host nancy skinner and from boston, maryann marsh. let's start with you because you are in the heart of it up there in massachusetts and a couple of your congressmen are doing interesting things on h healthcare vote. what do you see right now? when you look at the political landscape. you know what the polls are saying. they are devastating for democrats across the board, gallup, pugh, fox, rasmussen. people are saying we don't want the bill and we think it will make our healthcare change not for the better but worse. >> democrats want healthcare reform and republicans and independents don't. independents care more about the deficit than anything else. that is why obama has lost 17 points over the last year with independents is all over the

deficit. if democrats can convince just some independents that the healthcare reform bill will reduce the deficit that he can win in december. hold the democrats, hold your base, pick off some independents, that is the formula for the elections in november. >> the fox poll shows that the support for obama care has slipped since january. it was -- the disapproval as gone up and approval -- disapproval has gone up and approval has gone down. 55% oppose the healthcare plan. that is since january. again, where is the momentum here and how is this playing positively for the democrats? i think they made a huge miscalculation. >> it is the first time you have seen the poll shift to those points you are talking about in the fox poll itself since it was introduced in january of '09. polls change. when it was first introduced and for almost a barbecuing bash year even republicans supported the bill in the fox news poll and gradually with all the fear amongerrin mongerg

on. 85% of democrats fabian territories and 80% of republicans don't. independents by two points. that is a huge. you keep saying a huge majority of americans. two points is of difference. >> nancy, why do you think that 31% of americans think that nancy pelosi is not doing a good job? why do you think that? >> by even bigger numbers they think that the republicans in congress are just trying to block obama and that they are doing a lousy job. >> she is the leader of the democratic party. she gets a 31% approval rating and you can see oh the republicans this, the republicans that but the republicans are not in charge. the democrat democratics are i. whether looking at state by state polls or internal polls in the tough districts, places like, ohio, illinois, some of the old rust belt states.

i'm looking at numbers from the gingrich group did some polling on this. it really is not close on this issue yet i guess the base wants it so the base gets it regardless of what happens in november. dick morris just said they don't care about congress right now, they think they will lose congress in november but they need to push this through. is that the calculation? >> democrats will take a loss in november, no doubt. it is an antiincumbent year. the republicans will lose seats, too. because it is a hugely antiin couplement year. temperature crates just can't win with democratic votes. republicans can't win with republican votes. they all need independent votes and they know it and that is why the deficit score is a key play here. democrats if they can convince independents they can win. they going to lose seats but they may get some by doing that. >> i hear you point on that. nancy, you can address this.

we learnd that nancy pelosi is going call for a vote on the doctors' fix. which means $230 billion of the supposed savings isn't going to reoccur. she is going put this forward and push this forward as everyone suspected she would. so where are all the savings? >> if we enact -- >> that doesn't matter to you? that doesn't matter to you? >> if the public option, that is competition which is a good thing. competition. >> but that doesn't matter to you about the deficit. don't switch grounds here, does that matter to you or not that she says that the president goes out today and says this is going to be the biggest deficit reducer as far as the legislation in american history. >> the cbo said. >> president obama said that. you don't have a problem with the doctors fix then? >> $1.2 trillion over two decades. here is the thing. i got to put this in. as soon as this bill passes and people. >> massive talking points.

>> and physicians get covered businesses get covered they will be happy and the polls will change. completely flipped and people will be happy and all the fear mongering will be over and democrats will be just fine. >> i'm willing to take bets on this right now. not like that we can do it. ladies it, great to see you. directly ahead. up a undecided democrat jumps into the yes camp. was he promised amnesty for illegals in return. congressman luis gutierrez will be here. an host: could switching to geico really save you

15% or more on car insurance? host: is ed "too tall" jones too tall? host: could switching to geico 15% or more on car insurance? host: does a ten-pound bag of flour make a really big biscuit? so, doctor... i've been thinking... no. you know how... no. so, doc, i've got this friend... [ male announcer ] talking to your doctor about erectile dysfunction isn't easy.

i believe we have a healthcare bill i can vote yes for and i believe we have a commitment from the president to move forward on comprehensive immigration reform package quickly. >> that was congressman luis gutierrez, a democrat from illinois announcing his yes vote. he was holding out because he didn't like that the healthcare bill would bar illegal immigrants from bying insurance through government exchanges. gutierrez is now onboard with the white house but what exactly was he promised in exchange? the congressman is nice enough to join us now from chicago. >> nice to be with you, laura. >> you got a vote coming up here. you are in chicago. you got to get back soon. >> i'm in chicago. well, after being in congress for 18 years, i learnd that buying any grandson's glove and bat for the little league today was a lot more important than anything i might have missed. you make your own priorities. >> let's talk about one priority of yours which is

reform are our immigration system and today i'm sure you know that lindsay gram say that if healthcare reform is passed using the rule and all the things that have gone down, am amnesty is dead this year. do you think you made the right call saying you were going to vote for the bill with the promises from the president given now what senator grahame is saying. what did you get for your vote? >> here is what we understand that this administration has not put the kind of energy and the kind of focus and commitment behind the promises made during the campaign to bring about comprehensive immigration reform. i see a president more focused and energetic and committed today. it is a process and we are all in it today. the president cannot unilaterally solve the immigration and plight of 10 million undocumented workers in this country.

>> it doesn't bother you what he said? >> they posted their blue print. >> yeah, i said -- it's dead now. lindsay graham said it's dead, it's over. >> if every time that someone said immigration reform is dead i gave up i would have given up a long time ago. >> what else did -- >> could i -- >> sure, kickly. >> they said it to women during the suffrage movement. >> going back to suffrage now. what else did you get for your vote? >> that commitment. >> what else did you get in exchange for your vote. >> that commitment. >> and just to pursue immigration reform. no actual votes. just to pursue it? >> to pursue it with vigor and energy and a commitment. after lindsay graham and senator schumer put out their blueprint, i think you saw the reaction of the white house.

we had a dialogue and a conversation. you know what, he is refocused on -- last thursday. >> okay. >> -- he had a meat both lind day graham.ith >> you don't think you will put that through without a bipartisan this. >> it takes democrats and republicans working together. >> would you use the slaughter rule for it? do you think slaughter route is possible for this? >> i want to bring about a consensus. you need republicans and temperature crates both in the house. i think elector, a you know i worked with senator mccain and senator kennedy and congressman flake in the house and we introduced the bill in the house. >> i don't agree with any of them either. congressman, are you a catholic? >> yes, i am. >> you are a catholic. do you believe in the authority

of the catholic bishops and the primecy of the pope? >> i think that my church is very, very important in my life. >> if you are catholic you are a catholic in good standing and believe into the prime macy of the bishop. >> my religion is very important in my life. >> does it bother you that a cat lick bishop said a catholic in good conscience cannot support the healthcare reform bill because of what it does on abortion. does it bother you. >> and i took an oath to sustain the constitution of the united states and there is a separation of church and state. and you know, i havave a lot of respect for our religion leaders and as a catholic i have a great deal of respect for my own cardinal here. we have conversations and dialogue, too, but in this case i think we have separated abortion in this issue clearly. >> you believe you can do that as a catholic? you can separate your public -- your public comments and your public position on the issue of life as it is embedded in this

bill as a catholic? you believe you can actually do that as a catholic? >> well, let me -- yeah, let me tell you something. you can look at all my literature i posted over my 25 years of public service. i never said vote for me because i'm a catholic and a good catholic. i said these are the positions i would sustain. >> that wasn't the question. >> that is the answer, laura. >> a new survey says that doctors may leave their medical practices en masse if obama care becomes a reality. we will find out why. and khalid shaikh muhammad to be tried in a military court?

in the personal story segment tonight. the medical community's explosive reaction to obama care inching towards reality. a recent survey found that 46%

of primary care physicians would consider leaving their practices if this healthcare reform goes through. joining us from los angeles, dr. mark morocco and from new york, trigger a seizur, dr. ma. i have been talking with doctors over the last several months. i'm always curious about what they think on a lot of issues and particularly on this one. i'm surprised, i think out of maybe the 15 doctors that i know one, one, count them one is for the bill and very much for the bill but only one. what is going on here? >> i know more than 15 doctors. i know thousands. i can count probably on one hand the doctors that agree with the bill. 46% of doctors may consider leaving the practice of

medicine. i would say that that is going probably happen and evolve over the next two or three years if this global bill passes. the socialized medicine bill passes which is ultimately going to destroy healthcare as we know it in america. nobody is saying for instance that healthcare was perfect but one single bill, one bul bulleo fix everything that this presidency wants to do is not the thing. >> i don't know about the 46% that you are citing. >> come to new york and you will find out. >> i lived in new york and miami and pittsburgh and i live in lance now. i know thousands of doctors and 100% of those doctors have considered leaving medicine over the last 15 years based on what is happening in medicine in this completely market driven system we are in now. >> no, i totally disagree with you. >> the best clients are medty care and medicaid. >> they are leaving medicine because they are being sued.

there is no doctor fix in this bill. no, over the last ten years over my head this federal government has put a provision that says at any given time we are going to cut your reimbursement. and it was -- it was not right that now with this bill you don't get you don't put that provision so physicians know that when they wake up in the morning they are not going to lose income and they are going to be able to provide food on the table for their children. this is what i'm talking about. >> hold on. hold on. >> i work in a level one trauma center at ucla medical center. the ronald reagan ucla medical center ironically enough and every day 50% of the patients i see don't pay me and that is part of my oath. >> how many of illegal aliens. >> manny, hold on. >> getting sued is part of being a doctor because there are mistakes made. >> dr. morocco what percentage of those people who come to the emergency room if you had to guess were in this country

illegally? what do you think? >> you know, i don't have any idea because the emergency medicine transfer act and active labor act doesn't permit me to ask people about what they have insurance or whether they are legal. >> one thing we know. >> let me tell you about doctors. >> you care about the patients and the health of the patient which is what the bill is supposed to be about. >> we have to get back to pure doctor patient relationships. >> do you think this bill will make healthcare for the majority of americans, the ones who like their coverage now better in america? >> yes, i do. i do. >> better for the majority of americans? >> it will. and it won't happen instantly. dr. manny is right. it is not a single lightning strike or a single silver bullet that is going to make it better instantly. we pay all day long a hidden tax all of us who have good insurance and are blessed by that by having to cover

everybody who is uninsured and everybody who is poorly insured who is -- or who is insured by an insurer who is going to say you know what, laura, when you come to the emergency room and get your procedure we will fight you until you either give up or pay it out of your pocket or you get a lawyer. >> well, somebody always has to pay. someone has to pay now. >> laura, can i say one thing. if what america wants is socialized medicine. >> say that. this is socialized medicine. >> it is on the path. >> if what we want is to have the balance where we still have private doctors and private practitioners with offices this is not the bill that is going to provide that. >> we have vulcanized medicine. we have lyle fifedoms that control your office and your decisions and my medical room and my facility. the insurance company will tell us what to do every time on every patient. >> we are out of time.

i would rather have that and the huge hulking federal bureaucracy that is always unresponsive. the white house is already the white house is already threatened with a barrage ofpp what can you tell me about shell nitrogen enriched gasoline? they clean up gunk left by lower quality gasoline. then they act as a protective barrier... that shieldsnd protects engines... against rformance-robbing gunk. thanks for the info! shell nitrogen enriched gaoline, helping you get the most out of every drop.

thanks for staying with us. i'm lara ingram in for bill o'reilly. in the impact segment tonight, more state officials saying that they are set to sue in federal court if obama care becomes law. do the legal challenges have any merit? joining us is fox business correspondent elizabeth mcdonald researching the issue and from chicago, trial attorney kelly fainden. i want to start with you elizabeth. i heard there will be a congress clause challenge say

tag despite how loosey-goosey the congress challenge clause has gone that now congress has gone a step too far mandateing that people purchase a product. namely health, indiana. >> you laid out what could be a supreme court challenge. you will hear it here first on your show. what is going on is this. even the congressional budget office in 1994 said having an insurance mandate in hillary care would have been an unprecedented expansion of the congress' power, of the u.s. government power to regulate interstate commerce. forcing you to buy a good or service meaning health insurance. and there is nothing in the constitution that says the u.s. government can regulate you for doing nothing, meaning not buying insurance, meaning you have to pay a fine. what are they going to do next? regulate couch potatoes for doing nothing just you will likely see a supreme court challenge. in world war ii, taxpayers were

never forced to buy u.s. war bonds. people were not forced to build tanks. people were not forced to grow wheat during world war ii and i raise that issue because that dhal length has come up again and again and again and it has been shot down. this is going to be one of the hottest real controversies coming out of the healthcare reform debate. >> people like mike mcconnell and other esteemed constitutional protectors have been writing about it. looking into the issue, threatening lawsuits, seriously considering what they can do because they feel like they have already been crushed. so many of the states are out of money and we know that will put an extra burden on the states so they feel compelled to challenge this legally. >> they do feel compelled to challenge it legally. the problem is they don't

really have a leg to stand on. this is treated like a tax. the government has the right to tax the citizens for what they consider to be our best welfare and while i agree that this isn't the best plan out there, i don't think the states stand a chance. the supreme court has to agree to accept the case. >> but they are bringing healthcare reform under the interstate commerce laws. they are doing it under the interstate commerce clause. >> that starts in federal court, district court. >> you have never been mandated or forced to buy any good or service as a legal condition to be a u.s. citizen. this is a most serious issue. and we talk about due process clauses and what have you and that also has been challenged. you have a right to medical self-determination. the supreme court addressd that in the '90s, laura. >> right, can we move on to the next issue because otherwise we will be stuck on this issue. what about the rule which has been the hot topic. other state attorneys generals

saying if you go through and push it thing through with that law, virginia attorney general wrote a letter to the house this week and said we are going to do everything we can to challenge what you are doing on the federal level. we as states still retain our power and our authority and i don't know if they will be citing 10th amendment concerns but clearly the states are not going to take this lying down. >> was that for me or for -- >> no, cali. go ahead with that. >> the states aren't going to take it die lying down. they each do have individual concerns about their own budget and everything else. i'm not saying that i agree with the law but i don't think they are going about it the right way. i think they are exercising their right to challenge it and looking for ways to try to get around it. they should talk to their own legislators and their constituents and make sure it doesn't pass. >> what if a state wants to opt out of it? we are not in it. we don't want the federal

money. we don't want anything that is going to come our way. we can't afford this and we think this is a travesty? what happens? >> they will hold over the sword of not getting medicaid funding. >> of course. >> for what is going on in the states. and look, the issue that you are bringing up is what can the congress mandate next. are they going to mandate that you buy automobiles to support the automakers around the bailouts. and the issue with this is any kind of a mandate what do they do with the tax revenues. are you going to see a lock box for the penalties and fines? probably not. i tell you something, laura, you are right on the money here. this is the possible supreme court challenge. i'm hearing it coming out of washington from legal experts. they are already talking about possibly doing it. >> it as challenge but it doesn't mean that they are going to win. thank you. >> that is true. i fear. back in a moment -- i appreciate it. back in a moment with the

reports that the white house might choose to try some might choose to try some terrorists in civilian we americans are always at our best when we hear and heed the cries of others. when confronted with massive human suffering, americans have always stepped up and answered the call to help. but there's never been anything on the scale of human tragedy in our own hemisphere

like what we're now witnessing in haiti. today president clinton and i are joining together to appeal to you with real urgency. give now, and lives will be saved. thank you. thank you.

in "the factor" follow-up segment tonight. the "wall stree "wall street js reporting that the white house is close to a deal that would close guantanamo bay and hand some suspects over for a military trial. what is going on here? >> seems like the white house was already backing away from the decision to try ksm in new york after they said you can't do it there, it's not going work. and then lindsay graham comes in and says i have a deal for you, we will agree to close

gitmo. >> the president said it would be a false choice that we would have to choose between security and idealism and now we are making some false choice that doesn't satisfy any one. it doesn't satisfy me. >> you want them tried in regular federal civil courts and just go down that route? >> not civil courts but either have a criminal prosecution or some screening process and the process is more reliable in a regular court than in a military commission. and i'm not talking about the rights of the defendants. i'm talking about the reliability of the outcome. i think that closing guantanamo has got to be more than symbolically just moving it some police else. place else. if you are going to have a military commission you are not giving all the rights and these are human rights and not just american rights. >> when president obama made the point, he said there are going to be cases where there are individuals who we can just basically keep in custody and indefinitely.

he and holder are both on the same page that's. that strikes me if i were into the justice system as a liberal i would be saying you are the liberal president, how can you say that. how is that showing the world as we always hear the world needs to like us and the world needs to see our values. how does that make us liked in the world if that is the ultimate goal? >> the only think i dispute is about it being liked. i don't want to be liked. i want us to be respected and consistent. i agree with you. i think that if you going to say people have rights then you should respect them and you should create a process by which you deal with that. >> the military tribunal does afford defendants rights. is everything that goes through a military tribunal always going to be convicted is that your view. in. >> just about. everything that goes through is civil trial is also convicted. the protections and the sense of reliability of greater.

i don't want to say military convictions are like military music but they are. the same thing happens. the tune in the courtroom is human rights and the military commission a lot of summary justice goes on. >> and another concern with terrorism is to make sure that the welfare of the american people is protected because if that goes then the whole system goes down right? the best interest of the american people is it served by closing gitmo and shoveling all the people to illinois or whereever they need to get the jobs programs and then doing the trials in a civilian fashion in federal court. seems like there is a lot of political balancing going on here. not a consistent judicial approach. >> are americans really afraid of where we put these people. you have seen these prisons in illinois or heard about them. some people think if we let them loose in the streets that would be more dangerous for them. >> don't you think gitmo worked pretty well? >> if it worked so well, we wouldn't be talking about the

history of torture and whether or not they should be -- >> you are not saying torture at git mohammad o now. >> i think that is a way to lose a job now. that wasn't a way for the guard to lose a job in the past and get direction and do just that. the symbolism of changing has to be accompanied by actual real changes and that is now compromised i think by the compromise that pleases neither right or left. >> once again, the president has united right and left. i love that. great to see you. >> good to see you. >> as always. still to come, the upcoming healthcare vote causing major angst and elation across the nation. we will have the sights and

in the back of the book segment tonight the story of the weak the real march madness. how the debate over the health care vote is dominating the national conversation. >> washington insiders say president obama wants the house of representatives to vote on his reform plan on either march 17th, or the 18th. either st. patrick's day or the day after. that means congress will be voting when they are drunk or hungover. one or the other. >> we want health care. >> let them knowl:;ç that you wt stand for the rationing that
