Speaker 1: Congressman Ben Ray Luhan, Democrat, New Mexico. He's in charge

Speaker 1: Howard Dean declared that he wouldn't support this guy if

Speaker 1: group like Snarrow and Emily's List, registered their outrage. A
Speaker 1: coalition of progressive groups is circulating a statement of principles
Speaker 1: demanding a litmus test on abortion. Rosie o'donnill even weighed in.

Speaker 1: Democrats ever get behind pro life candidates, women should leave

Speaker 1: the hard way. In fact, is this guy still breathing?
Speaker 1: Does anybody know h
