Representative Stephanie Herseth Sandlin says she will oppose the health care reform bill expected to be considered this weekend in the House.
The South Dakota Democrat says the plan falls short of her goals for health care reform and could threaten existing access to health care for many South Dakotans. Herseth Sandlin says she's also concerned it doesn't do enough to bring down the federal deficit and could affect future health care for seniors.
The House could begin consideration this weekend of the 10-year, $1.2 trillion legislation that would extend health coverage to tens of millions of uninsured Americans and put tough new restrictions on insurance companies.
Herseth Sandlin says she is hopeful the bill can be improved by House and Senate negotiators.
“She’s too damn good looking for a Dem anyhow.”
Really? Her eyes are hard and her hair reminds me of a mop.
The picture doesn’t due her justice. For a Dem she is hot
A sane one? Wow
Is there a thread for “Rats leaving a sinking ship” yet?
Is she related to the East Texas rat Max Sandlin?
That’s her husband.
My Daugher in Law is her cousin then, wait till I see her father. ( We served in the Army together.) Hey, John one of your ridge runner relitives got it right for a change.
The family is originally from Decatur. Alabama, very nice people.
I think she’s cute.
She’s pretty much a blue dog, right?
He’s feeling the heat as well. Blue dogs and Dems who barely beat a GOP opponent last fall are all probably voting “NO” tomorrow.

You’re not the only one. My whole family, friends and neighborhood have been driving her and her staff crazy with our calls and letters.
She got the message!
Senator Johnson (D-South Dakota), you’re next!
Not sure how long these types of things will be sarcasm only. I do wish, though, that anytime anyone is “summoned” to the bigwigs’ offices, they would go with a tape recorder or an amanuensis. Shout their threats and intimidation. from the mountaintops
A few years ago I saw Stephanie Herseth on CSPAN talking about national security. I wrote her an email that said the most important thing she could do to improve national security is get married and have some children. Apparently Mrs Sandlin is able to take good advice, which is a good trait in a politician.
Maybe she plans to challenge Thune for Senate in 2010.
(D) Kratovil from Marylands 1st congressional district is telling callers he is voting against it as well.
