This really sucks:
Democratic Rep. John Boccieri of Ohio is switching his vote to “yes” on President Obama’s health care overhaul, bringing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi just one vote shy of the 216 needed for passage .
The freshman lawmaker announced his decision at a Capitol Hill news conference on Friday. Boccieri opposed the House version of the bill last November.
Boccieri said he was standing up and doing what he believes in.
He is one of four Democrats to switch from no to yes in the past few days as Obama and Democratic leaders try to corral enough votes for the legislation. A vote is expected on Sunday.
Boccieri has been pressured on the issue. Labor unions and other groups backing health care reform ran ads in his district.
UPDATE: You should realize that the count here doesn’t seem to be settled. Fox News has now reported that Rep. Defazio has switched from Yes to No.
