“Wasn’t Cao one of the guys on the front page of Delaware Politics?”

He was at one point, yes.

Thanks for that! Rep. Cao didn’t get much attention from the GOP when he ran largely because he was running in such an impossible district. This year, Jefferson is working to keep his butt out of prison and the impossible district won’t have Jefferson to toss out. Cao is pretty shrewdly deciding that total wingnuttery won’t get him elected here.

I don’t think Ahn Cao stands a chance in the next election but he would even have less than a chance if he had voted against health care reform.

Below is a link to the Washington Post story about the only Republican to vote for the Health Care reform bill,Freshman Rep. Joseph “Ahn” Cao (R-La.), who I had never heard of before today. He represents a heavily Democratic district and it sounds like his vote appears to be a case of doing good work while also finding it politically to be in his enlightened self-interest.

Here is his bio page from, his US House site. He lost home & business in Katrina,so he can truly say he has felt his constituents’ pain.
