Louisiana Republican Joseph Anh Cao votes "No"

Only on-the-fence Republican supports the Team in the end

The day before the crucial Health Care vote, Congressman Anh Cao of Louisiana told the local media that he was:

"pretty much a definite no."

He held to that pledge, casting a "Nay" vote. His was the only Republican vote in play.

Cao, who represents the heart of New Orleans, an overwhelmingly Democrata area, received a great deal of pressure to vote with Democrats. Reports ABC WGNO that on Saturday:

The group, Organizing for America rallied in support of health insurance reform outside the school where the [Cao] health fair was being held. A spokesperson said, "we need to show that Louisianans support the President's proposal and will fight for members of Congress who support reform."

Additionally, Obama himself called him to a personal meeting at the White House late last week.

In the end, Cao who is ironically the son of refugees of Communist oppression in Vietnam, gave the Republican Party the right to forever claim that the GOP was unanimous in opposition to Obama's Socialist take over of America's health care industry.
