Two pro-life GOP members close to Stupak tell NRO that any Stupak deals are off. They just spoke with him and they said he's finished with pelosi. They rejected his enrollment corrections proposal.I guess we can put Stupak and most of his pro-life Dems firmly in the "no" camp for tomorrow's vote.
UPDATE: Gabriel Malor has more:
Okay, I thought this morning's press conference with Congressman Bart Stupak would settle the fate of the healthcare bill. He and the leadership were working furiously last night to work out a deal on abortion language.It turns out the House Pro-Choice Caucus told Pelosi that if she cuts a deal with Stupak, they will vote against the whole mess: the Senate bill, the reconciliation sidecar, and any abortion provision offered to placate Stupak's bloc. So Stupak tried and Pelosi looked like she was going with it, but she's facing a mutiny if she does.
The fact that this occurred like this is great news. It means that Pelosi doesn't have the votes yet. Most counts have her a handful short. By my own count, she has to peel off some of the Stupak folks or she won't get to 216.

As crooked as Obama, Pelosi, and Reid are don't consider this vote as complete until it is all done.
They are so rotten they will stoop to anything, even criminal doings.
They are all known to be first class liars and some will be hood-winked by their lies. It will all be over when the Fat-Lady sings, and I haven't seen any sign of her yet.
