The House is voting on the Motion to Concur in Senate Amendments. So basically the bailout. Let's see what the House does...
There needs to be 218 votes - a simple majority - for the bill to pass. We're thinking that the bill would pass for two main reasons. One, no way in hell would leadership bring the bailout bill back for a vote unless they had enough support. Two, the way Nancy Pelosi looked today. On Monday, she looked tired, haggard, and unkempt - a sign of defeat. Today she came to the floor to speak and her appearance was way different. She was put together, energetic, and enthusiastic. She must know something.

*******UPDATE*******
The House passed the bailout bill 263 to 171. Leadership got what they wanted. Time will tell if this will help us out or not. All I know is that $700 billion is a lot of money...
