Bonus votes for health care reform

By GottaLaff

Yesterday I posted about Rep. Deal's resignation. Well, looky here, what do we have as a result? Bonus votes for health care reform!

Today's resignation of Rep. Nathan Deal (R-GA) essentially gave House Speaker Nancy Pelosi an extra vote to help her push health care reform bill through the House.

Now, with Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-AR) facing a primary challenge from Lt. Gov. Bill Halter (D), Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is virtually guaranteed to have her vote -- assuming she still wants to be a senator -- as he tries to push the health care bill through the reconciliation process in the Senate.

Aww, Nathan,, you shouldn't have.
