Stupak tells CNN he's a no

NRO: I hold out hope and Stupak tells CNN he is still a no.The vote hasn't happened yet UPDATE: It's pretty apparent that no one knows what's going on here, which would indicate that they do NOT have the votes they want. Not that we should be hopeful this dang thing will die.
Update from Washington Examiner:

Despite reports on MSNBC that pro-life Democrat Bart Stupak, D-Mich., will vote for the bill, he remains a "no" vote.
I just talked to Stupak in the basement of the Capitol as he walked passed a throng of protesters calling for members to vote against the bill.
"I'm still a no vote. There is no final agreement." Stupak said.
Stupak and other pro-life Democrats are in negotiations with the White House on a deal that would involve President Obama signing some kind of executive order that would ban federal funding of abortion under the health care bill.
"We are waiting until we have an agreement with not just the White House but also the Speaker and others," Stupak said. "There is no agreement. It's still a work in progress. I think we have work to do. "
