Don't Count on Retiring Dems to Save Obamacare

Some of them still have their scruples:

Rep. Brian Baird (D-Wash.) stressed Sunday that the votes of retiring Dems such as himself aren't necessarily in the bag.

Appearing across from Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Rep. Chris Van Hollen (Md.) on CNN's "State of the Union," Baird heartily agreed in principle with the need to reform healthcare but expressed reservations about the current bills. He responded "yes" when host Candy Crowley asked if he would vote against the current proposals even if it meant that healthcare reform went down.

We'll see what happens when it actually comes to a vote.
