...McMahon - the first Democrat to represent the area in 28 years - is by no means safe. In fact, he needs to draw a healthy number of Republican votes to win re-election, and his voting record up until health care had been 90% in line with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's.

For instance, although ideally the legislation would not include restrictions on federal funding for abortion, striking a deal proved necessary in order to gain the votes of pro-life Democrats, given the political circumstances. Leaders like Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid should be commended for their shrewd congressional savvy in crafting the best possible bill considering the complex interests they had to accommodate...
