The Ballad of Artur Davis (D+18) and AL-07 No on HCR Vote

The bottom line : Davis is currently running for Governor of the State of Alabama and did not believe that he could justify a yes vote in his ambition for 2010.

However, Artur Davis was elected as a Congressman for the 7th Congressional District for his 4th term in 2008. He has a duty to represent his constituency which is one of the poorest, most unemployed and most uninsured in the entire country. He failed that constituency last night and likely miscalculated in his belief that he would not lose voters in his base. I can't say that I'm surprised based on his recent statements that he would vote against HCR. However, I like many others did hold out hope.

We do have a chance to replace him with a more Progressive Dem in 2010 - (discussion below the thread)
