I think there were only 19 members of the CBC who voted against it. I looked into this yesterday matching the NO Vote names to members of the Black caucus. I may be off one or two.

THey all wanted the bill to fail so they could continue blaming the republicans for the crisis.

The black caucus was promised that the bill would be amended in the next round and Acorn money would be restored.

They were looking for their ACORN goody bag before they would agree to vote for it ...no doubt! After all Halloween is just around the corner....trick or treat!

The fact that the Black caucus rebelled must mean the GOP go the ACORN earmark scrubbed

Or they are just patriots responding to their constituents’ deep concerns about socializing the financial markets...

take a pick

18 yeas, 21 nays. osamaobama voted absent, undecided, finger in the air, not sure, maybe, perhaps, and said that no matter which way he might vote it would be subject to CHANGE.

My guess is that you are probably correct. When the CRA (ACORN. La Raze, etc) provision was removed, none of the black members would vote for the bill.
