“We are so close. This has been a bipartisan effort. We have the votes necessary to override the President's veto in the Senate. You have Senator Hatch saying that the SCHIP proposal is an honest compromise that improves a program that works for America's low-income children. You have Senator Grassley saying it is a good bill, it is a good comprise. Pat Roberts rises to express his support for the SCHIP bill. So with 45 Members in the House supporting this bill, we are so close. I think as Members go back to their district and start to hear from constituents about how important this SCHIP bill is, all of those loyal soldiers are going to get a little smaller and fewer every day. As people start to figure out that the President is so far out on a limb on this issue, that not only is he doing damage to America's children, but he is doing damage to the prospects of his colleagues in the House, you are going to find a lot more people seeking that courage and finding that wisdom and coming on board here.”
