House Banking Committee Democrats defeat Bank Bailout

The House of Representatives voted down the bank bailout bill today on a close vote 228 to 205. 95 Democrats and 133 Republicans voted no. The Virginia congressional delegation vote was also split with Congressman Bobby Scott (D) and Robb Wittman (R), Thelma Drake (R), Randy Forbes (R), Virgil Goode (R) and Robert Goodblatte (R) voting no. Eric Cantor (R), Frank Wolf (R), Tom Davis (R), Jim Moran (D) and Rick Boucher (D) voted yes. The entire roll call is here.

What is interesting is the vote cast by members of the House Banking Committee (see below the fold). With the difference between yeas and nays overall 23, a shift of 12 votes would pass the bill. Of the 37 Democrats on the committee, 12 voted no. One can conclude that it was the 12 Democrat members of the House Banking Committee who voted no were the votes which defeated the bill.
