Healthcare Voter Casualties
I'm interested in seeing how the voters respond to members of Congress who voted for the healthcare bill ... especially those whose votes were bribed and bought.
There's already one Democrat casualty. Senator Ben Nelson (Nebraska) of the "Cornhusker Kickback" fame, should begin to plan for retirement as the polls are showing a huge dive in support and anger at the Senator for his vote on the bill.
I've lived in Nebraska. It's a conservative state. Nelson ran as a Democrat, but a conservative one. He's won election twice, but that will likely end in 2012 because of this vote. Polls show Nebraska voters to be more against the healthcare bill than other states nationally. That spells doom for the former Governor of the state, who has had mid-level popularity as a bluedog conservative Democrat.
I'm not sure of others yet, but will update as this continues...
