Pelosi: The Bill Is "frozen" -- And It Needs Some Republicans
As House Republicans met Sunday evening to talk about the financial rescue bill, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi delivered a message to them from a press conference in the Rayburn building:
This is a "bipartisan" bill, and it's going to take some "bipartisanship" to pass.
House Democratic Whip Jim Clyburn said earlier Sunday that he thinks a majority of Democrats will support the bill. It's far from clear how many House Republicans will.
Another message from the speaker: Don't expect any changes to win more votes.
"The bill is frozen," she said. "It's on the Internet, the public is looking at. That’s the bill we will bring down to the floor."
