Maryland’s Votes

“My” Congressman, Sarbanes, is a lost cause – he voted for the bailout the first time. But on Monday, the vote was split.

Democrats Hoyer, Sarbanes, Van Hollen and Ruppersberger voted for it, along with Republican Gilchrest (Wayne – I’ve lost all respect for you! I guess since you lost the primary you think you have no one to answer to).

Republican Bartlett voted against (and his seat is “safe” – Wayne’s loss is your gain, Roscoe). Surprisingly, Democrats Cummings and Edwards also voted against.

Well, the Democrats have now “unified” behind the bailout after heart-to-hearts with Frank, Pelosi, and Obama. I hope every last one of them is voted out next month! (Thanks to Adam for the link)

UPDATE: Here’s the final roll call.
