Missed Monday's Cavuto ? Catch "The Deal" right here on FOXBusiness.com
Play or pay.
Here's the deal:
Resignation still on.
But former New York Democratic Congressman Eric Massa still furious.
That's what happens when you strong-arm some folks on health care. They might leave.
But that doesn't mean they don't get mad.
And in Massa’s case, get even.
So suddenly, a Congressman who's told the world "again" tonight...
He's stepping down and not running for reelection in November...Is at the epicenter of an issue that could very well decide "all" elections this November.
Healthcare.
Presumably a personal health-care issue prompted Massa to call it quits. He cited a recurrence of cancer.
Others cite something else.
A brewing scandal over allegedly inappropriate comments Massa made to a male staffer at a party last New Year's Eve.
So…did Massa quit, or was Massa pushed?
Nancy Pelosi isn't saying, and neither is her number two, Steny Hoyer. The president's been mum as well.
But media reports and political blogs rife with reports this hour of a 'Godfather'-like retribution.
And since Democrats have a similar 'Godfather'-like record of forgetting their own "family" sins...
Think Charlie Rangel…you do have to wonder whether Massa has a point.
It wasn't a potentially pointless scandal that doomed him, but a potentially embarrassing follow-up "no" vote on health care.
Hard to say. This much is not:
Forget about whether Democrats have the votes to pass this thing in the Senate
They've got a devil of a time "first" just getting this thing through the House.
