White House puts full-court press on health care holdouts

(CNN) – It's down to the wire for President Obama's health care overhaul.

The key to getting reform done is the thirty seven Democratic congressmen and women who are wavering or voted "no" the first time. Each is being heavily courted by the president and House leaders.

One Democrat not on that list, but still on the fence, is Virginia Rep. Gerry Connolly. You would think the White House would have reached out, but you'd be wrong. Our Jim Acosta caught up with the congressman for this report.

    If the ordinary citizen in the real world tried to use these tactics that the dems. are using we would be put in jail for fraud and other charges. With these turkeys in Congress it happens every day
