Rep. James Oberstar has gone from a ‘no’ vote to an ‘undecided’ vote to a ‘likely’ vote on health care reform, but according to the Star Tribune, he’s still not certain.
Oberstar has joined with Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich., in the past in opposing health care reform that didn’t absolutely ban abortion. Last week, Oberstar announced he was undecided on his vote on the reform bill. On Monday, he said he wouldn’t let a “single-issue” like abortion get in the way of his vote and said he’s likely to vote for the bill. Now, Oberstar is not “100 percent” behind the bill.

Ultimately, Obama and Pelosi will convince as many Democrats as they need to get the bill passed. Those who are undecided now will be the ones receiving the most pressure so Oberstar will have his cage rattled many times until he says “Aye”.
