Roll Call on Auto Bailout

Here we go. Notable "Fuck You": John McCain! And why wasn't John Kerry voting? Come to think of it, why wasn't Joe Biden voting?

The 52-35 roll call by which opponents on Thursday prevented the Senate from considering a $14 billion emergency bailout passed by the House for U.S. automakers.

On this vote, a "yes" vote was a vote to formally consider the House bill and a "no" vote was a vote to stop its progress. Supporters of the bailout needed 60 votes to advance it.

Voting "yes" were 40 Democrats, 10 Republicans and 2 independents.

Voting "no" were 4 Democrats and 31 Republicans.

UPDATE FROM MR. TREND: Think Progress has up a chart that also shows who voted "yes" for the banks and either "no" or didn't vote at all for the auto industry. Apparently, the only two dems (Kerry and Biden) who didn't vote this time had reasons: Biden working on "transition issues" (and given how fucked things in this country are right now, that no doubt is probably a huge task), and Kerry, who, as was mentioned in the comments, is in Poland. And only two democrats (Max Baucus of Montana and Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas) voted yay for the banks and nay for the car industry.
