Need updates on House Health Care Votes twitter

March 20, 2010 9:28 PM

Who should I follow on Twitter, that will reliably transmit immediate results of each of the House Health Care votes taking place on Sunday?

Best answer: Ezra Klein set up a Twitter list of some of the best health care bloggers here. That'll probably cover what you want.

If you can stomach it, NRO Corner will have it.

I'm sure that FireDogLake will have it, too.

Best answer: Anyone vaguely interested?

The unofficial House of Representatives floor updates feed scrapes the official website feed, and while C-SPAN's feed is a bit lame, it will presumably do the job.

Response by poster: Thanks for the Ezra Klein info and @HouseFloor. Finally found a use for a Twitter list.

txvoodoo, ezraklein, fivethirtyeight (aka Nate Silver), markos, joshtpm, and, as unlikely as it sounds, ebertchicago.

Personally, I'm hoping for a thread here on the blue like we have during elections, where Mefites can keep one another informed and engage in discussion as a community.

Tomorrow is going to be one of the longest days of my life.

There is an open thread on Political Filter also.

The comments near the end of this thread are kinda like what tzikeh refers to.
