Whipping AZ Dems on Health Care

Dan Nowicki of the Arizona Republic reports:

Democratic Reps. Harry Mitchell and Gabrielle Giffords remain on a dwindling list of undecided lawmakers, although Giffords has signaled she will vote "yes" if the final version fixes problems with the bill passed by the Senate in December. Both lawmakers are under scrutiny as they brace for potentially tough re-election fights in their swing congressional districts.

Ann Kirkpatrick, who represents the First Congressional District formerly held by Republican Rick Renzi, has already said she'll vote yes. Democratic Reps. Ed Pastor and Raul Grijalva are both liberals from solidly Democratic districts who have been grumbling about not having a public option but will both almost certainly vote "yes" in the end.
