In Pelosi’s House, 64 Democrats Sell Women Out
Taylor Marsh —
... The first female Speaker of the House makes history by passing a health care bill that not only doesn’t have a robust public option, but also sells out women’s civil rights.

Democrats against healthcare reform
MyDD —
The netroots have given Larry Kissell $485,795 (via OpenLeft), over the past couple of cycles. He voted no on this healtcare reform bill. He says it was to "protect medicare" which seems like a bizzare explanation. Here's the list of those Democrats that voted against it, and they all have their excuses. Brian Baird's name jumps out. He represents a pretty liberal CD in SW Washington, mostly Vancouver. A CD that has consistently gotten more liberal, while Baird has turned into a conservative Democrat. Ben Chandler and Stephanie Herseth Sandlin were ...

House Democrats Voting No
Matthew Yglesias —
... An interesting table from The New York Times profiles the House Democrats who voted “no” on health reform last night. Mostly it’s people from districts that went for John McCain, oftentimes heavily so. There’s also Artur Davis whose district suggests he ought to be a solid Democratic vote but who’s running for governor of Alabama and thus tacking way to the right of what his district requires. You’ve also got idiosyncratic nos from Brian Baird and Dennis Kucinich and a clutch of freshman Dems from districts Obama won. ...

Who Voted Against Health Care Reform-- And Why?
DownWithTyranny! —
... last night's historic session of the House of Representatives as it voted to pass the health insurance reform bill. Despite countless attempts over nearly a century, no chamber of Congress has ever before passed comprehensive health reform. This is history. Tragically, 39 Democrats, mostly corrupt, bought-out Insurance Industry shills, crossed the aisle and found themselves on the wrong side of history. Only one Republican, Anh Cao-- ironically the Representative from New Orleans who was elected in response to a major corruption scandal-- crossed the aisle in the other ...

Alabama’s House Delegation and the Health Care Vote
PoliBlog: A Rough Draft of my Thoughts —
The NYT has an interesting table detailing the Democrats who voted against the House health care bill.
From it we find that the the three Democrats from Alabama voted against the bill:
Bobby Bright, AL02
Parker Griffith, AL05
Artur Davis, AL07
None of this is particularly surprising. Bright, in particular, comes from a highly competitive district that prior to his election in 2008 had been in Republican hands since 1992. Further he ran specifically promising not to do Speaker Pelosi’s ...

Does Voting For Health Reform Hurt Conservative Dems? Democratic Polling Says No.
The Atlantic Politics Channel —
39 Democrats voted against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) health care reform package last Saturday, and conventional wisdom says this was a good move, campaign-wise.

... for their pathetic anti-working family candidates, trying to piggy-back on Obama's message. The DCCC consistently spends most of the money it collects from unsuspecting Democrats on Blue Dogs and reactionaries who vote more frequently with Republicans than with Democrats in the House. For example, of the 17 freshmen and sophomore Democrats who votes against healthcare reform, every single one of them-- except Parker Griffith who has already officially become a Republican-- is on the DCCC emergency life-support list: Scott Murphy (Blue Dog-NY), Bobby Bright (Blue Dog-AL), Frank ...
