The Huffpo has the rolling whip count &#8230; The Hill has one too &#8230; btw count Florida&#8217;s Alan Boyd (a previous &#8220;no&#8221;) as a &#8220;yes.&#8221; That makes four no-to-yes flips today (the others are Engel of NY, pro-life Ellsworth and Boccieri of Ohio)
Obama gave his rousing closing argument today, in advance of a possible high [...]]]></description>

		<title>Marco Rubio creates an opening for Kendrick Meek</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Marco Rubio&#8217;s troubles &#8212; his penchant for spending donor money to pad his lifestyle and PAC money to hire his family members as &#8220;couriers&#8221; &#8212; plus his unwillingness to man up and address the issue publicly, have done what most people, myself included, thought was next to impossible just a few short months ago. He [...]]]></description>

		<title>Morning clicks: run away Rubio, Kos flips on Crist-Meek</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
It&#8217;s a late morning here in ReidReport land. I&#8217;m getting ready to head out to Channel 2 to tape a segment of &#8220;issues,&#8221; but before I go, here&#8217;s a bit of what&#8217;s going on in the sunshine state:

		<title>Reconciliation bill posted, and it scores!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Politico has a decent summary of the newly posted reconciliation bill (plus the full text) with the key changes it makes to the Senate legislation. The CBO score looks good, and the vote is expected on Sunday, with the president delaying his Asia trip to wait for the moment. As we get closer, right wingers [...]]]></description>

		<title>Upgrade: &#8216;This Week&#8217; goes to Amanpour</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Finally, someone who can pronounce &#8220;Iran&#8221; and &#8220;Iraq&#8221; correctly. Way to turn the page, ABC! (You gave us a scare last week&#8230;) Christiane Amanpour will be the first woman to host a Sunday show, and I&#8217;m sure she&#8217;ll be great (and give the show more of an international view.) Meanwhile, CNN just went down another [...]]]></description>

		<title>Marco Rubio&#8217;s bad mojo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		

A couple of weeks ago, I asked a prominent attorney involved in the case of an elected official who was charged with corruption for using his city-issued credit car for personal expenses, including dinners at Red Lobster with his girlfriend, what the material difference was between that alleged crime (the pol is pleading not guilty) [...]]]></description>

		<title>Healthcare CBO score released with good news for Dems</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
From the New Republic&#8217;s Jonathan Cohn:
Democrats in the administration and Congress have agreed on a set of amendments to the Senate health care bill. And, according to House leadership, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) is certifying that the amendments will reduce the deficit. That should fulfill the parliamentary requirements of the reconciliation process, satisfy the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Herald article today: my answer to Uncle Luke</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
It&#8217;s District 5 day for me today. My Herald column focuses on the very little the district has seen go right over the last few decades, and answers this column by Luther Campbell in the Miami New Times: 
A clip:
It&#8217;s almost an urban legend in Miami. The &#8220;black seat&#8221; on the City Commission is cursed, [...]]]></description>

If it&#8217;s Thursday, it must be time for an orange alert! John &#8220;moneybags&#8221; Boehner had some sage advice for his banker friends when he spoke before an enthusiastic crowd at an American Bankers Association &#8220;government relations&#8221; (that&#8217;s lobbying to you) summit: “don’t let those little punk staffers take advantage of you and stand up for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Shameless: Republicans&#8217; self-executing hypocrisy rule</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Norm Ornstein says it all:
&#8230; I can’t recall a level of feigned indignation nearly as great as what we are seeing now from congressional Republicans and their acolytes at the Wall Street Journal, and on blogs, talk radio, and cable news. It reached a ridiculous level of misinformation and disinformation over the use of reconciliation, [...]]]></description>
