The U.S. House Of Representatives voted on the $700 billion bailout today. 95 Democrats and 133 Republicans voted against it. There is a rumor going around that some Republicans who had agreed to vote for the measure were taken aback by Nancy Pelosi's speech on the House floor. Was that the reason for the failure of the bill? I doubt anyone changed their mind because of that speech, but if they did, I guess you could say that it was the speech that killed the bill.
