Coleman, Klobuchar split on auto bailout
Categories: Business
Sen. Norm Coleman and Sen. Amy Klobuchar split their votes on the auto bailout that failed in the Senate yesterday 52-35. The $14 billion rescue bill had passed the House this week, but chances were slim in the Senate for a final deal.
A "yes" vote was a vote to consider the House bill and a "no" vote was a vote to stop the bill. Supporters needed 60 votes.
Coleman's vote makes him part of the "Gang of 18" compiled on Daily Kos. The list includes Republicans who voted for the bank bailout, but voted against the auto industry bailout.
Coleman voted no, Klobuchar voted yes.
Voting "yes": 40 Democrats, 10 Republicans and 2 independents
Voting "no": 4 Democrats and 31 Republicans
The full list:
Bob Bennett, R-UT
Richard Burr, R-NC
Saxby Chambliss, R-GA
Tom Coburn, R-OK

No love for your favorite St. Paul Ford plant, Coleman? You sure loved them when you went to meet with Ford officials and got some pretty nice press for temporarily saving the plant once again.
