And here's why they're on the way out (aside from a thousand other problems they face) -- they are against children's health. Count our South Florida Republicans among the child-hostile sitting ducks. Lincoln Diaz-Balart, Mario Diaz-Balart and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen all voted against legislation that would add millions of children to the SCHIP program. It passed the House with some Republican support but not enough to be veto-proof.
So there are two headlines on Politico tonight:
GOP expects to lose more House seats
GOP S-CHIP tactics leave opening for Dems
Enjoy.
Footnote: all three of our South Florida Democrats in the House voted for the legislation, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Ron Klein and Kendrick Meek.
