Do you have a link to the breakdown of the final tally?

Vote Tally (See post #437)

Wow - You're correct. I remember at 3AM just 12 Dems voted for the bill; this link to the House website confirms the that the tally at 5:51AM was 16 Dems for the bill:

Someone should e-mail the AP for a correction.

I got the official final tally on the Medicare House vote from a post in the second FR thread on the passage of the bill. Search on "Medicare" by date posted, click up the second link (not the monster while the vote was allegedly live), and you'll find the official vote at about post #40 on that thread.

I got the initial tally off the screen on C-SPAN during the three hours that it broadcast a shot of Congresscritters walking around, talking, scratching themselves. It reminded me of the parody of the Major League Baseball ad that showed similar inanities and ended with, "Catch the fever." LOL.
