Blue Dog Allen Boyd has flipped from no to yes on healthcare. Eliot Engel is now a yes. Politico is calling Obama the "comeback kid" with a question mark. Come back from what? He's been out there fighting, laying the groundwork for health reform, education reform, immigration reform, student loan overhaul, climate legislation, since day one. It may be that the hard work on the front end may now start to pay off.
If healthcare passes, people are going to wonder, what the heck? What was all that fuss about? It's been about politics, the republican waterloo strategy to take down the Obama presidency. Republicans could be screwed if healthcare passes.
Obama will be meeting with the democrats at the Capitol on Saturday. Harry Reid, whose wife and daughter have been recovering from a car accident, will also be there, according to Politico.
Update: Another flipper: Suzanne Kosmas. Another flipper, John Boccieri. Scott Murphy turns into a yes.
