Wow, a stunner: Looks like bailout bill is going down. As of now, it's 227 nay, 206 aye.
Will be interesting to see which Democrats, 95 of them, voted nay. There were more than enough Republicans voting aye (65) to compensate for some majority-party defections, but not nearly 100 of them.
Meanwhile, the Dow is down over 450 points, going as low as down 680 at one point.
Geez: It's like the country is coming unhinged right before our eyes.
Note, however, that it looks like they're pulling the old GOP majority maneuver and holding the vote open. Maybe Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer, who clearly miscalculated before bringing it to the floor, can twist some arms at the last minute.
