WaPo provides chart on how House members might vote this weekend.

Chris Cillizza, who blogs at The Fix at The Washington Post  published a chart of how House Members, as of March 19th, are reportedly planning to vote. When health care reform reconciliation legislation is decided, possibly on Sunday, here is the segment of his report that pertains to my home state of Texas. Kudos to Chris for this information via a HootSuit tweet, which could prove very enlightening on Member motivations. 
Column heading key:

1. Current leaning
2. November 7 vote
3. Member name
4. Political party
5. State & District
6. Campaign contributions from health industry
7. Percentage of uninsured in District

Red State Texas will not be helpful to Democrats' efforts to enact health care reform.  It looks pretty bleak for the Progressive Wing of the party, but not for an overall Democratic victory.  I am cautiously optimistic, and impatient for the outcome.
