Sometimes you can get a better feel of the political mood in the country by reading small town newspapers than you can by following the mainstream media. And if Democrats think that by jumping ship on Obamacare in the wake of Scott Brown's election as senator from Massachusetts they can spare themselves the political consequences of their earlier support, they should read the comments from the readers of this Zanesville (Ohio) Times Recorder article. It is about local Democrat Congressman Zack Space suddenly displaying a profile in no courage by announcing yesterday his opposition to the Senate health care bill...after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announces she didn't have the votes to pass it:

U.S. Rep. Zack Space said Thursday he plans to oppose the health care bill passed by the U.S. Senate.

He made the announcement shortly after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told the national media she didn't think she had the votes to pass the bill.

Any Buckeyes out there represented by this bozo?

[PJ-Comix]

PING!

[sodpoodle]

Let’s be generous. Perhaps his threatened *NO* vote was the reason Pelosi dropped it.

Coulda happened;)

[Eagle Eye]

When is he going to come out against slavery?

What? He hasn’t formally denounced slavery????

[HereInTheHeartland]

I predict that Fred Thompson will NOT be the 2008 Republican nominee for President. And if he is nominated I will NOT support him.

[fortheDeclaration]

She never had the votes to pass the Senate version unchanged.

Even her Left wing wasn't going to buy that mess without the public option.

We are in his district. He tends to lean a tad moderate in the district, is in lock-step with Washington, and is up for re-election this year. Doesn’t want to tick off the voters.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Their cover has been blown exposing the leftist bent of these so called moderate democraps.There is no such thing.They have already walked the plank.

[Frantzie]

Vote the creep out. I love thinking about Ben Nelson of NE. Biggest fool in America. LOL!

He looks so stupid now.

...He tends to lean a tad moderate in the district, is in lock-step with Washington, and is up for re-election this year....

Sounds like the typical liberal pol. Tell the "folks at home" what they want to hear, then totally ignore them once you get re-elected. A liberal will talk the talk, but a conservative will walk the walk...............

Bill Klintoon was bent to the left.......or so I've heard....................

As do Lieberman and Landrieu. We now know there is not one democrat statesman/woman in the Senate.

You got to know when the hold’em, know when fold’em, know when to walk away, and know when to run.

Esau Nelson just got his bowl of lentil soup spilled in his lap.

[wny]

much like the brave NY Times calling for Clinton to resign, knowing the chance of that happening was less than the chance of Obama passing a mirror without looking

[Recon Dad]

Zack has been obviously taking up “Space” and needs to be removed.

Where's the Tea Party out there in Eastern Ohio. We're taking care of business in Southwest Ohio with Steve Driehaus being down by 17 points to Steve Chabot and sinking.

Just shine the light on these rats.

[Venturer]

Rat are noted for leaving the ship when itis sinking.

Fred Thompson SHOULD be the POTUS right now.

[FatherFig1o155]

If this weren’t so ridiculous and transparent, it would be funny.

It seems the press is finally getting their feet under them again.

There is hope. I hope.
