Nope, Pelosi personally called the four members she had posted to  committees 
who were in tight races and told them to vote no, then they called  all the 
other Dems in tight races, told them to vote no etc etc. Then she got up  to 
the podium and blasted the bill she had already seen and given tacit approval 
 
to, before she voted yes. The bill did not get every republican vote, no. But 
it  was Pelosi's effort, after the ACORN payoff money was axed among other 
things  that got it killed. ACORN money was back in and it passed.

There  not enough
Republican votes.  The Senate version was stuck into a bill  previously
passed by the house and totally unrelated to the bailout.   In order to get
Republicans to vote for the bill unrelated amendments had  to be stuck on and
some real help for the rest of us was struck off.   There is a load of crap
hidden in that  bill.
