WASHINGTON -- In a stunning vote that shocked the capital and worldwide markets, the House on Monday defeated a $700 billion emergency rescue for the nation's financial system, ignoring urgent warnings from President Bush and congressional leaders of both parties that the economy could nosedive without it. The Dow Jones industrials plunged nearly 800 points, the most ever for a single day.

Democratic and Republican leaders alike pledged to try again, though the Democrats said GOP lawmakers needed to provide more votes. Bush huddled with his economic advisers about a next step. The House was to reconvene on Thursday instead of adjourning for the year as planned.

“though the Democrats said GOP lawmakers needed to provide more votes”

Phooey! You already got more than 60 GOP votes. How about you get the extra votes from your own party?

Paulson should be in prison for attempting to hold America hostage.

Does this mean that Johnny Mac ain’t campaigning until at least Thursday? He really needs to get back out there.
