W. Todd Akin: “Tomorrow there is going to be this big drama, I guess, 6-hour--maybe…”

On the recordFebruary 24, 2010

Tomorrow there is going to be this big drama, I guess, 6-hour--maybe it will be pretty boring. I don't know. But it's supposed to be dramatic. Six hours of people sitting around a table talking about this same old health care plan basically. And there were different people that were chosen to go to participate in this. And I am just wondering if you know--I know there were a few Republicans invited, but were there any Democrats that voted ``no'' on the bill that were invited to participate? Do you know of any?
