MoveOn targets recalcitrant Blue Dogs

From NBC's Mark Murray
As the House Energy and Commerce Committee today tries to vote out its health-care bill, liberal MoveOn has issued a threat to conservative Blue Dogs on the committee: If you vote against the bill, we'll run a radio ad against you.

The deal that was cut earlier this week between House Energy and Commerce Chairman Henry Waxman and the Blue Dogs included four of the committee's seven Blue Dogs.

Here's a script of the MoveOn radio ad...
