QUESTION: WHAT DO I MAKE OF TODAY’S VOTE ON THE BAILOUT?
What I do know is that the Democrats voted for it 141-94; Republicans opposed it 66-132.
What I do know is that the Democrats have a majority in the House; they could have passed the bill 235-198 if they were willing to accept ownership of the result.
What I do know is that the majority party is insisting that the minority party is responsible for the bill not passing.
What I do know is that the American people strongly opposed the bailout. And anecdotal evidence seems to indicate that the NO votes came from congresscritters from contested districts.
Given that, it seems to me that the bailout was wisely rejected.
Next question: which Presidential candidate will step up to the plate?
