Bill Owens campaigned on this; he was always for health care...no Scozzafava would not have voted for health care as she is a fiscal conservative. The reality is had the election proceeded without Hoffman and all the drama, health care might have been stopped...impossible to tell because some of the Dems who voted against it were allowed to after getting enough votes to pass it...sad day.
Then why did Deedee turn-coat and back the democrat? Just a little tiny bit miffed?

So w/o NY 23 they would have passed it 219 to 216. Or just had one more Blue Dog fall on his canard. Electing Scozzafava just for *that* weak result would have been bad for Conservatives and the GOP.
We need to drag this out in the Senate until March, May, November...
