North Carolina's two Blue Dogs say they're ready to move forward on health reform, as long as the path veers away from the thousand-page bill being considered by the U.S. House of Representatives.

Among the state's 13 House members, Reps. Heath Shuler of Waynesville and Mike McIntyre of Lumberton represent the middle coalition of Democrats who have been central players in shaping President Barack Obama's quest for health reform.
Both are members of the Blue Dog Coalition, a powerful group of fiscal conservatives, many of them Southerners, who have been influential in the debate.
