Where is Representative Loretta Sanchez?
Oh my.
As their whip efforts narrow to just a handful of Members, House Democratic leaders are facing an unlikely problem vote: Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D-Calif.).
Sanchez was nowhere to be found on Saturday — she was in Florida on a fundraising jaunt, two Democratic sources said — and while leaders expected her to return for the Sunday vote on final passage, they weren’t assured. What’s more, leaders now list the Orange County Democrat as a “no” vote.
Sanchez was expected to be a sure "yes" vote. By my own count, whatever Executive Order on abortion funding the President is cooking up has to peel off six of the remaining ten in Stupak's bloc for Pelosi to reach 216.
Fingers crossed.
