Matheson’s the guy whose brother was nominated to the federal bench on the very day he met with The One about health care. He was a no before … and he’s a no now. Space was yes before, but suddenly he’s a no too — and a hard no judging by his statement, i.e. not one liable to flip back tomorrow. All of which is perfectly dull and predictable if you assume that Pelosi has already made it to 216 and beyond and is simply looking to cut loose a few red-district Democrats to vote no at the eleventh hour. But wait: We’re told that this wasn’t a surprise to Speaker Pelosi but that she didn’t release him to vote no either, as sometimes happens late in the game when the leadership knows it has enough votes and can spare some to protect vulnerable incumbents. I don’t know how else to read that except as an admission that she doesn’t have the votes. I’m shocked to be saying it, but if TPM is right, this really isn’t over. Yet.

NRO reports Loretta Sanchez was nowhere to be found today.
AP reportsU.S. Rep. Travis Childers says he will vote “no” on President Barack Obama’s health care bill.
Good news on Childers. Pelosi doesn’t have the votes. Either way, our slogan should be “Remember in November!”
I hope they keep their word.
Both Pelosi and Obama looked awful today that alone tells me both are in a very bad place. I read earlier that SEIU demanded a vote now whether it passed or not or no funds for elections this year?
