TheHill.com - GOP hopefuls stick to guns against SCHIP: "Republican candidates hoping to unseat vulnerable House Democrats by and large are sticking by their party’s line in opposition to the children’s healthcare bill President Bush vetoed earlier this month. Democrats fervently believe the debate over the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) will benefit them at the polls. The House on Thursday will try to override President Bush’s veto of the bill. But as the vote draws near, Democrats appear as though they’ll come up short in their efforts to get GOP lawmakers, and a few of their own, to change their votes and bring the tally to the needed two-thirds majority. Nearly every Democrat in Congress voted for the bill."
