    Glenn interviewed Congressman Steve King on the radio program today to talk about the status of the healthcare bill. Dealing is fast and furious on the Hill today, and anything can happen. King reports that not one republican will be voting for this bill. Will that be enough to stop it, or will the people have to show up in droves this weekend?
