This is the closest we’ve seen to a Democratic lawmaker actually signing on for Pelosi’s Suicide Squad.

Rep. Bart Gordon, who voted against health-care reform legislation last year, said Thursday that the legislation is moving in the right direction because of changes offered this week by President Barack Obama.
The comments by the Murfreesboro Democrat, who is retiring at the end of the year, are significant because the ability of party leaders to switch some previous no votes may be key to their plans for passing reform legislation in the coming weeks.
Gordon, in a written statement, praised the improvements to the bill that he said would reduce overall health spending.
“I voted against the House bill in November because it expanded coverage but did not do enough to bring down costs. I’m pleased to see the discussion moving in a more fiscally responsible direction now,” Gordon said.

Easier for him to flip, since he’s already announced his retirement . . .
