Nancy Pelosi told Democratic members who were up for re-election they could vote NO on the this unpopular bill.
83 Dems voted against it.
If she was any kind of leader, she could have had the bill passed with a Democratic vote. She did not need the Republican vote, she just wanted to hang this bail out around them.
Couple by a partisan speach blaming the Republicans for this mess, when it's the responsibility of both parties.
133 Republicans voted no as well. What does that say about the GOP? What does that say about Bush that said the bill must pass and McCain that 'suspended' his campaign to seal the deal only to have it flop?
