Last week, President Obama fawned over the endorsement of Pelosicare by two political powerhouses, AARP(who stands to make millions from its passage) and the American Medical Association. With those endorsements, Congressmen Zack Space, Mary Jo Kilroy, and Steve Driehaus likely breathed a sigh of relief. That was premature. The Ohio State Medical Association, the state affiliate of the AMA, came out...

Congresswoman Mary Jo Kilroy knows that the national Republicans have painted a big target on her back. She knows she’s likely facing a rematch from her ‘08 opponent in which she narrowly won thanks, in part, to a high youth turnout fueled by the presidential election that is unlikely to materialize in ‘10.

Good job Zack. Zack is helping bankrupt each and every voter in his district. Estimated added costs to households for just two of the bills that Congress is considering is: Cap and Trade cost per household $1,761 Health...
