Glenn Nye, Loretta Sanchez to Vote “No” — 209 By: Jane Hamsher Saturday March 20, 2010 8:14 pm ... This makes Nancy Pelosi’s job considerably harder. Sanchez’s jump could be a sign that there are members who have been quiet about their positions and hoping they’d never have to take the vote. But with the fear of tough elections ahead looming large, more could follow her lead.

Har! Thank you!
All right! Sorry that I confused the two.
:)
I think they heard us or something. :-D
After all the hype they HAVE to vote on it now. Both the left and the right...even the middle...EVERYONE wants each and every one of the commie bastards on the record.
They'll vote, and they'll lose.
So did she leave town in anger or to avoid being harrassed or is she afraid - as in REALLY AFRAID (as opposed to politically) of O and NP?
Thank YOU!
They heard you and we know that Pete Sessions, at least, SAW you! :-D
Thanks....Not sure I believe she will vote NO....would be great!
Love the Vietnamese in Garden Grove, the know what Communism looks like
I don’t believe ANYTHING from her.....or the Dems......or Rahm’s Chicago politics...or or or or or..
No idea about this congresswoman, but she sounds like a member of the Hispanic caucus. Perhaps the abortion angle is causing her to rethink - the dems have for years negated their voters that are prolife.
Perhaps this whole issue is causing difficulties in that area.
Immigration is VERY next. I heard talk of it coming up on Monday. More work to do.
Did he? I don’t remember reading that, cool!
He posted the picture with his comment. :-)
He also referred to you as Americans. That brought a tear to my eye.

That’s old B-1 Bob Dornan’s district with the boundaries slightly changed to make her safer!!!
“Sanchez voted “yes” last time. She faces a well-funded GOP challenger, Van Tran, in the 2010 election. Although Obama carried her district by 60%, Schwarzenegger won it in 2006 as did Bush in 2004. It has a growing Vietnamese community, which Tran hopes to capitalize on. “They come out and vote in large numbers, and they’re 2-to-1 Republican,” he told the Associated Press.”
I live in a nearby district and this makes total sense to me. While the overall county is conservative, she was elected thanks to votes of illegal aliens in the district (I actually read depositions in that case years ago, and there’s no doubt). If the demographics are switching to Vietnamese she may well have trouble keeping the seat.
Yesssss! Gracias Senora! (LOL, she’s not really Hispanic...)
Posting this snippet of what I just saw on FireDogLake re Obama doing an executive order to placate Stupak group plus schedule for votes this Sunday:
“Stupak has said throughout that he merely wants to affirm current law, and presumably that’s all an executive order would do. But as Suzy Khimm says, Stupak’s kind of backed himself into a corner by arguing that only his amendment would be sufficient. Of course, the executive order is designed to peel off votes softer than Stupak on the issue, like Kathy Dahlkemper, Marcy Kaptur, Steve Driehaus, or the two West Virginia Reps., Nick Rahall and Alan Mollohan.
In a twist, Republicans may offer their own Stupak language inside a motion to recommit. David Waldman tells you more than you ever need to know about that action. But basically, motions to recommit have in recent years been used by the minority to force a distasteful vote on the majority. Certainly the Stupak amendment qualifies. And as it has passed the House already with 240 votes, it certainly good again, which would cause all kinds of problems.
The session tomorrow will begin around 2:00 pm ET. Three votes – potentially four – will be taken. First there will be a vote on the rule, with an hour of debate on it. Expect a vote around 3:00 ET. Then there will be two hours of debate on the reconciliation bill. That will get a vote around 5:00 ET. There would be no debate in between the reconciliation bill and the Senate bill, which would happen around 5:30 ET. If there is a motion to recommit, that would get sandwiched in before the vote on the reconciliation bill.”
