Meanwhile, where in the world is Loretta Sanchez?

Meanwhile, not only does it look like liberal Loretta Sanchez is a no, it also looks like shes MIA:
As their whip efforts narrow to just a handful of Members, House Democratic leaders are facing an unlikely problem vote: Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D-Calif.).
Sanchez was nowhere to be found on Saturday she was in Florida on a fundraising jaunt, two Democratic sources said and while leaders expected her to return for the Sunday vote on final passage, they werent assured. Whats more, leaders now list the Orange County Democrat as a no vote.
Sanchezs office did not return a request for comment Saturday evening. She cast her last vote shortly after 6 p.m. Friday and missed all seven recorded votes on Saturday, a review of the record shows.
Democratic hand-wringing about her status geographically and intentionally underlines just how tight the margin has become for leaders trying to zero in on 216 votes as the clock ticks down to their appointed deadline. Leaders are still hunting for a winning coalition of votes and still struggling for a breakthrough abortion fix that will convert three or four holdouts angling for tougher protections against public funding of the procedure.
Too bad I missed this; will have to look for video
