As reported in last Sunday's Philadelphia Inquirer, here is how Philadelphia-area members of Congress were recorded on major roll-call votes last week (most of last week's votes had to do with health care, which I realize I've posted on ad nauseum already - the vote to begin debate in the Senate happens tomorrow evening).

DON'T GET SICK IN SCHUYLKILL COUNTY Unsurprisingly, the House health reform bill did poorly in old rural white Pennsyltucky. The New York Times voting map shows Schuylkill County Dem Tim Holden's big no. Holden's constituents are mostly old and white, a large portion of the population on Medicare. And they're the demographic most likely to be connected to Fox News every evening. So Holden is a Dem...

First, there was Anh "Joseph" Cao of Louisiana. A month ago, we thought he might be the most endangered member of the House. This might be a game changer for him: One unprincipled Republican, Rep. Joseph Cao (R-LA), now know as Joseph "Mao," voted for the bill. For all the turncoat "Democrats" who voted against: think what it means if an endangered Republican is re-elected...

The good news, the House Bill passed 220-215 , one Republican (Joesph Cao again!) voted for the measure. The bad news, so did the Stupak Amendment, 240-194. The FDL guys sum it up : It’s like winning a huge battle, but half of your friends were killed or wounded. 36 million more people will be insured or become eligible for Medicaid There will be a trillion dollars raised to help subsidize this....
