—
IN TIMES of national tragedy, Americans expect their president to capture the mood and moment with the right blend of emotion, empathy, and urgency. It’s a delicate act of timing and tone.

2009 Elections Show it’s not just House Democrats from McCain Districts who Face Consequences of Vote for PelosiCare
—
The conventional wisdom is that the 49 Democrats from congressional districts that backed John McCain last fall are those likely to tip the balance in the current debate on health care .

Obama/Pelosi Care Passes House 220-215
—
Update: It was closer than I thought: 220-215, 39 Dems voting no and a solitary Republican -- Joe Cao, who replaced "Dollar Bill" Jefferson in a blue district in Louisiana -- voting yes. Take heart, righties: Reid is incompetent, which makes the likelihood of 60 votes in the Senate, especially after a vote this narrow, very slim indeed.
