Liink The big question will be whether the House follows suit. Nancy Pelosi may not be inclined to let an amendment come to the floor, but James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles may not be done yet, either. A few more of these videos and even Pelosi will have little choice but to slam the door on ACORN. The big test will be whether the Johanns amendment survives a conference committee. This isn’t over yet.

Update: Thanks to Sean Hackbarth, we have the list of seven nays on the amendment so that the Child-Whoring Pimp Assitance 7 can be publicly identified:

Dick Durbin (D-IL)

Roland Burris (D-IL)

Robert Casey (D-PA)

Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY)

Patrick Leahy (D-VT)

Bernie Sanders (I-VT)

Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI)

So can we assume that Illinois and Vermont are especially sympathetic to child-whoring pimp assistance?

In the case of Illinois, it's quite safe to assume that. As for Vermont, it's possible that there's actually a reasonably legitimate branch of ACORN operating up there, make the Vermont senators ambivalent about cutting off funding to the entire organization.

Seeing VT and IL BOTH senators from each on the list doesn’t surprise me.
