Democrat in name only
Re 'Nye makes his decision: No.' front page, March 21: Would someone please inform U.S. Rep. Glenn Nye that there is still time for him to participate in the Republican primary because, since his election, he has proven that he is certainly not a Democrat. I know of not one Democrat who would vote for him again or volunteer to support his candidacy. Nye's votes have embarrassed the Democrats who backed him.

Honesty
He should be honest with those in his district and declare himself to be independent.
That's the problem
with both parties - dems aren't happy unless the dem votes dem all the time and repubs aren't happy unless the repub votes repub all the time. While I didn't vote for Nye, I have to tip my hat to him for voting no - which financially, was in the best interest of his constituents. I have to wonder however if his no vote was used by Pelosi to give him cover for the Nov election in a conservative district - especially since he was "undecided" so late in the game.
Yes
It was because she saw that we elected a Republican Governor and we are turning this state blue again and she figured this would help him keep his seat and keep her Democratic numbers up come November. Sorry Nancy and Glenn it will not work and you will be Voted out of office for participating in passing this illegal takeover of the healthcare system.
