Maybe if Bart Stupak holds out he will also get a free ride on Air Force One and a shout-out in a nationally televised health care rally. That’s what Dennis Kucinich got for voting no in the first round of health care votes, and then threatening to do so again.

Kucinich accompanied Obama on the flight to Ohio today, and during his speech Obama lauded the congressman and former Presidential candidate saying he was “tireless on behalf of working people” and then encouraged an attendee who hollered “vote yes” to repeat himself. Video below.
