Kosmas On the Fence

Alex Leary of the St. Petersburg Times has a long profile of undecided house Democrat, Suzanne Kosmas. Key grafs:

Kosmas, whose district narrowly favored John McCain over Barack Obama, voted against the House plan in November, one of only 39 Democrats overall to do so and two in Florida.

(The other was Rep. Allen Boyd of Monticello, who is considered to be leaning no this time, too.)

Back then, Pelosi could afford to give some members political cover. But the tumultuous weeks since then have changed things dramatically. So much so that even the president has come calling on Kosmas.

She was invited to a one-on-one meeting in the Oval Office last Thursday. "We had a very open dialogue," Kosmas, 66, said in a brief interview this week.

"I'm still waiting to see what the bill is going to be and the content, as well as the process," she said.
