When you do the math, Democrats probably have only about 205 votes to pass health care reform. With four empty House seats, they will need 216 to guarantee passage. snip Here are the 18 Democrats who, after voting "no" on health care reform in November, are now most likely to flip and vote "yes" this time around:
John Adler, N.J. – On Fox News Sunday, he didn't quite rule out voting "yes": “If the House and the Senate can’t work out cost containment, I don’t see how I support a bill that doesn’t help our business community and create more jobs, he said.” (Fox News Sunday, Mar. 7, 2010)
Jason Altmire, Pa. – Altmire equivocated this weekend on Fox News Sunday, saying he has an "open mind" about it. “I have to make a decision between passing this bill...or doing nothing. And I'm weighing the balance between the two.”
Brian Baird, Wash. – Although he said he planned to vote no, the retiring congressman hedged a bit on CNN's State of the Union Mar. 7. “The problem is, if I think we could come up with a better solution, OK, than just to say health care reform goes down and therefore nothing ever happens, that would be a tragedy. And so that's the choice. I don't think this bill is what I would like to see us do if I could -- if I ran the universe, as it were, but I don't get to do that. So the status quo is unsustainable.”
John Barrow, Ga. – He always has close races in his Savannah-area district, which was made significantly more Republican through mid-decade redistricting. A "yes" vote might end his career. He has not indicated how he will vote, nor has he responded to inquiries from The Examiner.

Call your reps. and especially call these people if you are their constituent.
It also might not be a bad idea to ask your local tv station to have Betsy McCaughey on their news show if one of these reps are in your district.

Talking about the bill, not the congresscritter. The hemming and hawing about cost containment is a nice way of saying no, because it’s not possible.

Good job - post #7!
Wouldn’t hurt to call a local talk show, if one of these people is your rep.

If push comes to shove, Chet Edwards TX-17, will vote for this. He made up his mind the last time on the last day, and that means that he got a whip-counted free pass.
Those kinds of free passes will be revoked this time. Chet will do what Nancy tells him to do.
Add Chet Edwards to your lists: Phone: 202-225-6105
Fax: 202-225-0350

from the link in OP:
“Chet Edwards, Tex. – He told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that he will vote “no.”’
But it still doesn’t hurt to call him.
