Now that they passed it, will Dems survive 2010?
By: J.P. Freire

Based on the House vote on health care, which seats are possible pick-ups for Republicans? One place to look would be seats in districts where Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., received more than 50 percent of the vote in the 2008 presidential election. Thirty-one Democrats came from such districts, feeling enough pressure from constituents to vote against the bill.
Sixteen Democrats, however, come from McCain districts, and still voted for the bill. They are listed below by district and last name as well as the percentage of their voters that went for McCain:
WV-01 Mollohan 57
WV-03 Rahall 56
AR-02 Snyder 54
AZ-01 Kirkpatrick 54
PA-10 Carney 54
ND-AL Pomeroy 53
SC-05 Spratt 53
AZ-05 Mitchell 52
AZ-08 Giffords 52
OH-18 Space 52
IN-08 Ellsworth 51
VA-05 Perriello 51
CO-03 Salazar 50
IN-09 Hill 50
OH-06 Wilson 50
PA-12 Murtha 50
Worth noting is the freshmen (who are both in itals and underlined), as well as those who've already finished a term (who are in itals only).
Those from pro-McCain districts who joined Republicans in voting against the bill are below:
MS-04 Taylor 67
TX-17 Edwards 67
OK-02 Boren 66
TN-04 Davis 64
AL-02 Bright 63
ID-01 Minnick 62
MS-01 Childers 62
TN-06 Gordon 62
AL-05 Griffith 61
LA-03 Melancon 61
MO-04 Skelton 61
AR-01 Berry...
