The Latest on the Bailout

Anyone have that sense of deja vu? We’re into the final debate and we've been here before (Monday). But coming from the last votes in the Speaker’s Lobby, there seems to be a decent number of folks who have switched over. John Shadegg, Jim Ramstad and Zach Wamp said yesterday they’re for it. I spoke with Sue Myrick and Michael Conaway who are both voting yes. "Overall this is right for the country," Myrick said.

From the left, John Lewis, Emanuel Cleaver and Shelley Berkley have come out for the bill. And Bill Pascrell just said on the floor he’s for it.

Though, Dem Whip Jim Clyburn said in the Speaker’s Lobby that he thinks he’ll lose some Blue Dogs. Speaking of which, here’s the latest from me.
