Let’s connect a few dots.

Suzanne Kosmas (D., Fla.) is one of the nine “no” votes on the health-care bill who are being wooed to join Pelosi’s Suicide Squad.

Republicans currently lead both statewide races in Florida — the governor’s race between Bill McCollum and Alex Sink as well as the Senate race between either Charlie Crist or Marco Rubio and Kendrick Meek. That means Kosmas can’t count on any help from the top of the ticket. She represents a district where McCain won by two points and Bush won by ten.
She’s another House Democrat who’s “trying to avoid the liberal label,” but after dodging angry crowds in her district and holding only a tele–town hall last summer, she laid out her views on health care to the editors of the Orlando Sentinel in language that prompted them to conclude she views the issue ‘like a kid giving her wish list to Santa, oblivious to the fact her family is $11.4 trillion in debt.”

Suzanne Kosmas’s chances at reelection, as rated by the Crystal Ball of Larry Sabato: Toss Up. Stuart Rothenberg’s rating: “Toss Up/Lean Democratic.”

President Obama to Rep. Marion Berry, a nervous Arkansas Democrat who ultimately retired: “Well, the big difference here and in ‘94 was you’ve got me.”

Estimated number of jobs the Kennedy Space Center and surrounding communities will lose under Obama’s budget proposal: 23,000.

The latest news from Obama:

President Barack Obama will present a conference April 15 in Florida on the country’s future in space exploration, the White House announced Saturday. The president, top government officials and other space leaders will discuss the course the White House is charting for NASA and human spaceflight, according to an Obama administration official who asked not to be identified because details of the event are not final.

Obama’s approval rating in the four polls taken in Florida since November: 44, 45, 42, 45; Obama’s disapproval in those same polls: 55, 49, 58, 54.

Relax, Representative Kosmas. You’ve got Obama!
