Nomentum III: Dina Titus Says She's Undecided
— Ace

Previously, Titus had expressed reservations about Pelosi's Abortion but voted for it after changes... and arm-twisting, of course.

Democratic Rep. Dina Titus dropped her opposition today to the House health care bills, saying changes have been made since she voted against it in committee in July and it has now won her support.

Titus had been walking a political line of supporting health reform, but opposing several elements of the House plan -- particularly its surtax on higher-wage earners she feared would snare many couples and small business owners in her Southern Nevada district.

The balance was a smart political move in Southern Nevada, where the congresswoman's district remains politically split. She will have to face voters next fall.

The surtax on "Cadillac Plans" is currently in the Senate bill that Nanny-Nan wants everyone to vote for.

Now she says she doesn't know if she can support the currently-envisioned Frankenstein bill.M

As if to illustrate that, Rep. Dina Titus, D-Nev., a freshman who supported an earlier version of the bill, said she is now undecided, citing questions about what the final measure would include.

"I think what's happened in my district is there's a great deal of uncertainty," she said.

4 The House should start from the working assumption that they are being asked to pass the "Senate Bill" and there will be no "reconciliation".

6 She needs to decide if she wants to vote for the bill or keep her job. She can't have both.

10 I called my rep's office earlier today (Jim Matheson D-UT) and they told me he was still reviewing the bill. He must be the only pol on the hill who doesn't know what's in it. I hope he's sent a thank you card to Obama for the pickle he's been put in.

I'm starting to take it personally. I sat around being sick for the last few days and it's quiet around here. I spend several hours off the computer cleaning up around here and miss the party. That keeps happening.

Coincidence? Or remote activation of the web cam??

Help!!!Help!!!

The first of march, here in Las Vegas, a candidate filed for Harry's senate seat. 

 His name is Jon Ashjian and he filed as the "Tea Party" Candidate. The local fishwrap ran a poll showing he would siphon off over 18% of the consevative votes, which would give Dingy Harry a victory! I don't know how to get the word out, so I thought I might start here. Actually the figures are 18% Asjian, 32% republican candidate, and 38% for 'wrinkles' Reid.

The first reports are that his campaign manager is a prominate Democrat, and this looks like a well organized 'dirty trick,' as I'm sure it is.

Ashjian says his interest are in smaller gov, but he has never attended any regular tea party rallies, or 9-12 projects. Any ideas on how to spread the word?

26 Hey Amish Jack !

Yup - real good news here in the People's Republic of Wisconsin.  I worked the last two election cycles here in the SE corner and lemme tell ya - the Thug Factor is huge.  They bussed them in from Chicago last time around.  In my face all day - had to call the local sheriff, for all the good it did me. 

Glad to see that maybe someone finally has the guts to cry foul and make it stick.

"It was in some sense only fair, as the court file shows that Cantwell contributed to the failure of the marriage. Angela stated in an affidavit that 'an affair that [Ron] had with another woman a week prior to our wedding' had 'caused problems with my relationship with my husband'".

Cantwell lures away the woman's groom a week before the wedding. Hey Madam Senator, did you and Mr. Right yuk it up about the bride's goofy wedding gown between the schtupping?  Did you offer advice on the reception entertainment? 

A week before the wedding.  Nicely played, Senator, nicely played.

32 I read this post, and despite the title, I was convinced the Rep. was moving toward voting "yes." 

Can't someone defeat Pelosi in her district?  What a disgusting place it must be.

33 HA...I am guessing she is aware of teh shite Reid will face here in the motherland and is trying to seperate herself. She lost the Governor's race here before she won her current seat. I am guessing she wants to save her life from Pelosi and reid.

Uncertainty, indeed!  It's hard to decide whether or not you want to be a suicide bomber as a freshman representative.

bingo! What good is a powergrab of epic proportion if your not going to be the one directly benefitting from that power? That's why there is alot of cold feet. If they could have it both ways, they would vote for it in a heartbeat. They are terrified because they can't have it both ways

How many of those Dems sitting up there ready to change their yes to no vote have come to the realization that speakers, majority leaders and presidents come and go but they have managed to hold their seat throughout them all. They won't if they vote yes, that is one fact that will not change. They might hold onto the seat if "they do the right thing" in the end and switch to no

 

As much as they want the power, they don't want to give up the kickback schemes, bribes and special treatment they have been getting for years
