h/t Visualisation of the House Health-Care Vote

Professor Simon Jackman has a great visualisation of the Health Care vote over here. His post isn't very long, so I'll post the whole thing:

Here is a quick look at how Democrats split on the House vote on the Affordable Health Care for America Act, as a (logistic) function of Obama vote in their district.

Davis (AL-7) and Kucinch (OH-10) are the big “errors” among the “Noe” votes; Kucinch had been telegraphing his opposition to a too meek reform bill for some time. Davis is the same boat (“is this the best we can do?“).

Marion Berry (AR-1) is the biggest “error” among the “Aye” votes; he voted yes while representing an Arkansas district where McCain got 59% of the vote and Obama just 38% (but, perhaps reflecting much about that part of Arkansas, he was unopposed in the 2008 Congressional elections) and he seems to have long history of being in the forefront of Democratic reform efforts on health care.

To add another bit of information, the only Republican crossover was Joseph Cao of New Orleans, whose seat will probably belong to a democrat soon...
