Fairwitness: 218 to 214! Will be interesting to see the "party line" breakdown of the vote.

jackbill: That was the vote to reject the Senate version of the bill.

The vote for the Republican version was 286 yeas vs. 139 nays. Something like 70 DemocRATs voted for the Republican version. Two Republicans voted against it.

Thanks for the data. I am very glad to hear that passage of the House version was so "bipartisan". That will make it harder for the Senate Democrats/RINO's to demagogue (but they will anyway).
