And the 93 Dems. that voted no? I supposed they're hero's huh. 
It was supposed to be a bi-partisan deal, which obviously fell through. I'll try to explain this so it makes sense. The plan was to have enough votes from both sides to push the legislation forward. The bi-partisan attempt had to have people oppose it in order to make the numbers more even for each party. This would result in legislation that is backed by a proportional amount of Republicans and Democrats. This on paper allows for both parties to take credit for pushing forward with $700 Billion bailout plan. They can say "we" instead allowing only 1 party to take the credit. It's definitely weird, but that is how Washington works.
On a different note, Pilosi's speech (which she was 100% right on) hurt some Republican's feelings. So they changed their mind. Should she have said what she said? I think she should have done it after the vote in my opinion. Hopefully we can get a better deal later this week.
