Will Ohio Dems Kill The Bill Or Kill Their Own Principles?

The Hunt for Health Care Votes: Democrats to Watch

Ohio:

Rep. John Boccieri (Voted no on the House bill): He skipped Mr. Obama's event in Ohio even though he was invited by the White House. Check out this article on a plane flying overhead in Canton with a banner that read "Tell Rep. Boccieri no abortion funding."

Rep. Betty Sutton (Voted yes on the House bill): Wants to see the bill. Mr. Obama's event Monday was in her district.

Rep. Marcy Kaptur (Voted yes on the House bill): Concerns with abortion funding and explaining the bill to constituents so they understand what's in it.

Rep. Steve Driehaus (Voted yes on the House bill): Now considered a likely no. Wants stricter abortion language.

Rep. Zack Space (Voted yes on the House bill): Does not like senate bill and wants to see language.

I have little or no faith in the people on this list. They are ignoring their constituents and their staff members in Washington and in the district are disdainful when they answer the phone, which is seldom.
