Politico ^ | 5/17/10 | JOSH KRAUSHAAR

They were the difference makers on health care reform: House Democrats who flipped from opposing the plan to supporting it, delivering a win on President Barack Obama’s signature domestic issue.

Now, they are also among the Democrats’ most vulnerable incumbents, and none is building a reelection message around their famous vote.

The experts (as tracked by keyhouseraces.com) are still signalling NY20 as "Likely D".

But the article's author ranks NY20's Murphy as "among the Democrats’ most vulnerable incumbents".

We're going full-out to get rid of Murphy in NY20.

Allen Boyd (Rat-FL) 2nd district is dead political meat.

He voted for Cap’n Tax and succumbed to the charms of San Fran Nan at the 11th hour to vote for National Socialist Healthcare.

He is flooding his district with multiple taxpayer paid mailouts that praise his support of our military but ignore Cap'n Tax, National Socialist Healthcare. Sorry pal, not buying it.

Boyd was bloodied about the nose and ears during last summer's town hall meetings. He knew the pulse of the electorate. He knew it was political suicide to vote for Hussein care.

I am convinced that Boyd was promised something huge by Pelosi in return for his traitor vote.

“How are your chances of pulling it off looking at this time?”

Chances are good the Dumocrat in question will be dispossessed of his office.

If we work smart and work hard and raise enough money, then chances upgrade from good to great.

I read on a local newspaper posting board in the 20th district, posters very upset over Scott Murphy’s flip flop on the Obama/Pelosicare vote.

Supporters of Chris Gibson ought to write letters to editors, and call talk shows, to remind voters of Murphy’s cowardly flip flop.
