Bailout bill fails

McCain saves the country and wins in November by a landslide - Republicans win all the way around - really a brilliant move

Over 90 democrats voted no. Pelosi had to make a partisan speech before the vote.

More Democrats voted yes than no. It's pretty funny seeing John Boehner blaming Pelosi and 'partisanship' for the bill failing when over two-thirds of his party voted no.

Not enough did. Over 90 (94?) voted no and they are the reason why the bill didn't pass. That and the idiot Pelosi with her grandstanding partisan hackery speech that turned about 12 republicans votes the other way.

There are idiots in both parties. Deal with it and spare me the bulls.hit.

That guy isn't much. The Ohio Italian guy with the bad toupee(who went to jail) would be better.
