I would hope for detailed explainations from every representative who changed his or her vote but I'm not expecting it.

Does anyone have a list (from a reputable source) of the exact House vote today? This is an incredibly important criteria for who is likely to get my vote in the Congressional race.

Interesting results.Thanks.

It looks like the bailout would win a vote if it were up to the American people. Interesting. No wonder the politicians flip flopped without remorse.

Thanks.

Of course, most of the people in America are the same ones who bought too much house to begin with, ran up huge credit card debt, etc. Of course they were easy to scare into supporting it, people were running around this week saying their credit cards would stop working if Congress didn't vote in the bill.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

My rep still voted nay. Good job Sam, you got my vote this fall...

i wonder what josh howard will have to say about that now.

Did you want your representative in Congress to vote FOR an economic rescue? To vote against an economic rescue? Or, do you not know enough to say?

Don't know enough 21%

Ooops, my browswer didn't format right. The 45% looks like 15%...

Still, #2:


Do you support or oppose the specific rescue plan that the government has worked out? Or do you not yet know enough yet to say?

Dont know enough: 37%
Not sure: 1%
