Politico: Ellsworth a "Decider" on Health Care

Politico lists Rep. Brad Ellsworth as one of its "Ten People Who Could Decide Health Care." Here's what they say:

Sen. Evan Bayh’s decision to retire could hurt Democrats in more ways than they thought if Ellsworth, the party’s leading candidate to fill his seat, decides to vote “no” on the final bill.

After all, Ellsworth’s “yes” vote proved critical in November, but failure to resolve the abortion question could provoke him to jump ship, because Indiana remains a conservative state in which the religious right holds powerful sway.

And if Ellsworth goes, what’s to keep fellow Indiana Reps. Joe Donnelly and Baron Hill on board?

The Hill is also announcing a $500,000 campaign to convince anti-abortion Democrats to vote against the bill. Read the Hill's story here and Politico's story here.
