Dennis Kucinich may vote for Pelosi's reconciliation scheme after all!

According to tonight's ABC News report by Jake Tapper, when asked if he was still going to vote "No", Dennis gave a "no comment."

Pelosi's scheme is one in which no House member would have to vote for the Senate HCR, instead they will vote for the reconciliation bill. A vote for reconciliation would be considered as having passed the Senate HCR as well.

On edit:

Here is the story that I saw on TV now posted on the ABC News website:

Kucinich, who flew on Air Force One to Cleveland with Obama, earlier told reporters that he would not comment on his current position on the health care bill.

"I'm looking forward to hearing what he (Obama) has to say," he said.

On second edit:

Here is Pelosi's scheme, according to Ezra Klein:

Here's how that will work: Rather than passing the Senate bill and then passing the fixes, the House will pass the fixes under a rule that says the House "deems" the Senate bill passed after the House passes the fixes.
