Rep. Capuano (D) says he’ll probably vote no on Health Care Reform.

Late Update: Seems like Rep. Capuano’s office is getting a few phone calls. This just in from TPM Reader JK

Just a quick word from the ground in the MA-8th. I called the office a couple of hours ago, and it sounded as though they were pretty busy…I got put on hold five times in the course of our conversation. When I did manage to register my profound disappointment in anything other than a strong “yes” vote for HCR, they said thank you and hung up. My co-worked called five minutes ago, though, and when he got through they made a point to say that Rep. Capuano isn’t actually voting no, just “leaning” towards a no vote. So they’re definitely hedging, and this may be an opportunity for democracy to act…I’m calling all my friends to call the district office, and get the sense this will rightfully be a lead balloon in our district.
