Oregon Rep. DeFazio Switches 'Yes' Vote to 'No' on Health Care Bill. BUT...

By GottaLaff

As I type this, MSNBC is reporting that President Obama is meeting with the Democratic caucus tomorrow:

The opposition from Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., dials back the number of House members leaning toward voting yes to 214, and the number leaning toward voting no to 217.

DeFazio announced his opposition shortly after Ohio Rep. John Boccieri, also a Democrat, announced that he will switch his vote to yes, temporarily putting Pelosi within one vote of what she needs.

However, there's a glimmer of a whiff of a silver lining:

But he indicated he could still change his mind again.

"I'm a no unless they fix this," he said, referring to what he sees as insufficient Medicare spending in rural areas.

I'm holding on to the audacity of hope.
