House Speaker Pelosi visits Seattle today


Posted at 8:52 am by Jerry Cornfield

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-CA., will be in Seattle today where she will join Democratic Reps. Jay Inslee, Jim McDermott and Norman Dicks in a tour of Swedish Medical Center.

Pelosi's visit comes less than 48 hours after the U.S. House of Representatives passed the massive Affordable Health Care for America Act bill by the narrowest of margins, 220-215. Pelosi needed at least 218 votes for passage.

Inslee, McDermott and Dicks along with fellow Democrats Rick Larsen and Adam Smith voted for the bill. Republican Reps. Dave Reichert, Doc Hastings and Cathy McMorris-Rogers, and Democrat Brian Baird voted against the bill.
Note: The above paragraph was corrected because Baird does not appear to be a Blue Dog Democrat as I wrote earlier. Here's the group's membership list. sent by a a careful reader of my post.

A handful of members felt the vote historic enough to ask Pelosi to autograph their copies of the nearly 2,000-page bill.

If you're interested in getting her to sign your copy, she'll be touring around 2 p.m. and chatting with reporters (and maybe providing autographs) after that.
