Gateway Pundit also blames Pelosi's speech on losing votes. She will not value the way history treats this day, me thinks. And I think most people just didn't like the idea of giving $700B, no questions asked, to a Treasury Secretary who used to work on Wall Street, and a bunch of financial institutions who wanted to make short sell deals in order to keep their pay checks and their balance sheets up. And - word to Pelosi - even Dems didn't like it. See Pete Visclosky, D-Indianna. "Where I come from we put thieves in jail, we don't bail them out."

Hehe. Might be one Democrat I might actually enjoy talking to.
