Thursday, Oct. 18 is showdown day in the U.S. House of Representatives. Thats when lawmakers will vote on whether to override President Bushs veto of the State Childrens Health Insurance Program, or S-CHIP. Democrats say they can beat the veto if they can find about 15 more Republicans to vote with them.
But they're not going to get Rep. Doug Lamborn to change his mind. [LISTEN]
