Default New York's Bill Owens quickly sworn in ahead of House healthcare reform vote

The Hill

Bill Owens (D) was sworn in Friday by Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) after squeaking by Doug Hoffman in the N.Y.-23 special election.

Democrats are undoubtedly glad Owens is joining Congress just in time for Saturday's healthcare vote.

The Dems are scrabbling for votes. If the health bill passes by one vote maybe people will understand what Pelosi meant when she said Tuesday's election was a win for her.

Owens Breaks 4 Campaign Promises in first hour in Congress

Quote:
GOUVERNEUR, NY - Congressman-elect Bill Owens was sworn in at noon today.

Owens indicated in a press release released shortly afterwards that he was now in favor of the the "Affordable Healthcare for America Act" bill in direct contrast to his earlier position during the election campaign.

According to Politico.com, Mr. Owens assured voters that he felt the public option had no place in the health care reform bill. Contrary to that position, Mr. Owens now indicates that he intends to vote in favor of the bill even though it now contains a public option.
