Dennis Kucinich: Health Care Vote Announcement Coming Soon

WASHINGTON -- Cleveland Congressman Dennis Kucinich holds a news conference this morning on Capitol Hill to announce how he will vote on health care.

The Democrat voted against a House bill last year. He has been pushing for a larger government role in health care, but he has been lobbied hard by President Barack Obama to vote "yes" this time.

White House aides say Obama and his senior advisers are making clear to Democratic lawmakers that they will not be left standing alone in the coming election if they support the current measure to overhaul health care.

House Democratic leaders are still short of the 216 votes they need. A vote could come as early as Friday.
