Okay, we just had another ‘no’ from round one announce she’s switching to ‘yes’. This time it’s Rep. Betsy Markey (D-CO). We’re tracking every announcement in real time in our auto-updating TPM Countdown to Reform Wire.

Late last week, Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) was on national TV saying he would switch his vote to no on health care reform because of the provisions affecting illegal immigrants. But readers — in and out of his district — who were calling his office reported that they were getting a different story, that Gutierrez might still vote yes. And if you parsed his public statements, especially knowing what his office was telling constituents, you could see he left himself some wiggle room. This afternoon, Gutierrez announced that he would vote yes after all.

Christiane Amanpour will be the new host of ABC’s “This Week.”

Reports last night in Las Vegas and this afternoon in DC suggest that the FBI’s investigation into Sen. John Ensign (R-NV) is the real deal. At issue is whether Ensign did anything criminally wrong as he tried to extricate himself from his affair with his campaign staffer, the wife of his Senate staffer, and then help the husband find employment and business opportunities elsewhere. My sense initially was that the investigation might be a bit of a stretch, where the FBI would take a quick look and determine there wasn’t enough there to pursue. But clearly that’s not what has happened.

The latest Rasmussen poll has John McCain up over primary challenger and former Rep. J.D. Hayworth by a mere 7 points. As a point of comparison, Rasmussen’s last poll of this race, from two months ago, had McCain holding a 22 point margin.

Things seem to be coming together today about as well as the Dems could have expected. They seem to be getting a number of the pro-life Dems to sign on. And Stupak seems to be conceding the vote though he’ll personally still vote against. They got solid news from the CBO this morning and that’s pulling a few of the Blue Dogs back into the fold. We’re following every development in our TPM auto-updating Countdown to Reform Wire.

As you know, the Catholic Church is playing a big role in the final decision-making of a lot of pro-life Dems. But the details are more complicated than you might realize. The Conference of Catholic Bishops is on one side; U.S. Catholic Nuns and the Catholic Hospital Association are on the other. And a number of wavering members have been consulting priests who’ve been visiting Capitol Hill to get precise explanations of the theological issues, where the institutional church stands and one imagines just what their own obligations are as Catholics. Brian Beutler has the story.

In the final haggling to get the “Cadillac tax” issue resolved and get the budget and deficit numbers right, the House and White House had to really think outside the box to find a way that would get the numbers right and keep the unions on board. It looks like they squared the circle. But it’s required some final, unscheduled meetings with Richard Trumka yesterday at the White House. And Trumka’s meeting with the AFL’s executive council this afternoon before a final decision is made. Brian Beutler’s got the latest.

Dennis Kucinich didn’t just switch his own vote on Reform. He’s now helping House leadership whip the vote with other wavering members, something colleagues find astonishing and say they’ve never seen him do before.

A number of TPM Readers wrote in over recent days telling us they’d called Rep. Eliot Engel’s (D-NY) office and been told, to their surprise, that he was leaning against voting for the Health Care Reform bill. The issue was over Medicaid reimbursement rates and regulations and his concern the bill disadvantaged New York for its particularly generous policies. But that’s now been changed in the current reconciliation bill. And Engel just told our Brian Beutler that while he won’t commit to anything without seeing the exact language, if the changes are as they’ve been described to him, that he’s now on board.
