Rep Boccieri Flips to Yes!

[Clio the Leo]

Giving a GREAT speech in front of the Capitol (which I will post if I can find it later) but says "everyone is worried about whether or not the Dems will keep the House, when what we need to be worrying about is whether Natoma can keep HER house! I am doing this for Natoma! I am doing this for my mother! ..." (last part paraphrased a bit)

YAY JOHN!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!

1. Another vote to chalk up to Obama's Ohio rally

Natoma's simple comment, when asked on one of the shows, that "It's a start", was as authentic and real as it gets.

2. Agreed. n/t

7. Praying that she might be well enough to attend the signing ceremony.

.... hey, maybe he can do it AT HER HOUSE! ;)

(and would be less snarky than MY plan of doing it in Waterloo, IA )

3. He's also making the right decision politically

The teabag right will oppose him no matter what, but this vote ensures that his Democratic base of voters will support him.

9. I think these new YES votes are realization its going to pass and they want to be on the right side

of History...they dont prefer it since they are getting paid by the industry but figure they have no choice.
