Rep. Joseph Cao (R-LA) is getting more support for his status as the only House Republican to support health care reform -- from the pro-Barack Obama, labor-backed group Americans United For Change.
Americans United has already run an ad in support of Cao, as part of their ad campaigns praising key swing members who voted in favor of the bill. And they'll be having another one soon, too, the Hotline reports.
Cao is widely seen as a vulnerable incumbent going into 2010, having been elected in an upset against an indicted (and later convicted) Democratic incumbent in a district that voted 75% for Barack Obama.

Yup, he voted for it. Without the Supak amendment - no way in hell (which, while I vehemently disagree with, I can respect - that is his consistent position - no bait and switch).
But he voted against the stimulus - and as Newt taught us so well, a vote for the best of 'em is a vote for the worst of 'em.
(and yes, I live in his district. And yes, Mary L sucks and I voted for her - but a vote for her is a vote to keep the D's in a majority - for all the pitiful little that is worth.)
