Earl Pomeroy announced in a statement that he would vote for the health care bill. Pomeroy made the statement with the rest of the North Dakota delegation, Byron Dorgan and Kent Conrad.

So we’re at 209-209, and there are only four non-Stupak related votes out there. The yes side can’t get to yes without some of the Stupak bloc, and the no side can’t get to no without some of that bloc. It’s really down to that.
