    Round 1: No agreement today in KY-3 debate

    Yarmuth said the legislation in question - specifically, H.R. 676 - was never going to pass and was intended only as a statement of his desire for universal health care.

    Do you live in Yarmuth's district? Do you know anyone who does? Tell Yarmuth that you expect him to keep his promise to support HR 676.

    I live in KY-3, DCB

    You have to understand the area. It is a blue city, surrounded by a sea of red. Yarmuth won here by less than a 1000 votes, against the same opponent in 2006. He has to skate a very fine line. He is unapolgetically liberal in policy, but he has to campaign more centrist. This is not an area where he can move the Overton window.

    I think you will start seeing many cosponsors walk back their support as the election looms, especially in swing districts.
