1. I didn't know about Dingell, but...

In an article in the Freep yesterday about Gary it said he hadn't decided how he was voting on health care yet. WTF, I said. Well, you know where I am on that one. I know someone else who would have known how she was going to vote. Progressive, my a**.

5. Well...

John Dingell has been advocating for a single payer system which is what I wish Obama pushing for too. I would think that Dingell would support the public option, even if it wasn't his first choice. Neither Dingell or Peters are my rep. though (I'm stuck with McCotter).

My main concern is the mandate. If that's included in the health care reform, I'll be pissed....especially since Obama was against it during the campaign.

7. Yes, he is weird

The one good thing about Michigan losing a representative after the next census will be that it could push McCotter out of office.
