Not really... I mean honestly the Democrats pulled even more then I thought they would... and more then they said they would.
The Republicans wouldn't of needed to hit that 100 person vote. Pelosi blinked when she played that bluff. (She said that the House democrats would refuse to take this unpopular plunge alone and would not pass the measure unless they got 100 republicans to go with them. She made it sound like they had the votes to pass it yet wouldn't.)
I honestly suspected the democrats would have a number of their at risk senators hold back on voting for this "just in case"since it's so unliked. She basically said as much...
Which granted may be still the case, i watched it live on my lunchbreak and didn't see who voted yes and no... and even if that was why i doubt it was for political reasons of the democrats but instead of the individual person since it seems that pelosi knowing they'd come up short ordered the dems to make up the difference.
The sad thing is. The Republicans were still short a good 13 or so members they needed.
It just shows how much of a crappy president you were when you can't even get half of your own party behind you.
The claim is they fell about 15 short because of the speach pelosi made blaming soley the Bush Adminstration... apparently that made a few reluctant republicans that were going to take one for the team bitter.
In reality it was a very crass speach she made but I doubt they really were that thin skinned that it made a difference.
More likely it was just politically motivated on this end as well.
After all "He supported the Bush economic policies that got us in this mess AND the bailout to said wallstreet billionaires." is quite the powerful attack ad.
Hey guys...

No can do buddy. We are professionals at fucking ourselves in the ass, especially over the last eight years. If we go down we are taking you with us!
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
This is some of the best news we have had in a long time.

You live in Texas... isn't that illegal there? ;)
Yea, at least we are bipartisan when it comes to screwing up. 6 years for Republicans, and now the last 2 for Dems... Seems no one get get it right...
How about you let my party take over for a while (although Barr is a nut case). Ron Paul for President!!! :)
