House Votes To Withdraw Troops

By Spring.

223-201, almost party-line

Four Republicans voted yea;

Walter Jones (R-North Carolina)
Wayne Gilchrest (R-Maryland)
John J. Duncan (R-Tennessee)
Jo Ann Emerson (R-Missouri)- new to the GOP Withdrawal group

Ten Democrats voted nay;

John Barrow (D-Georgia)
Dan Boren (D-Oklahoma)
Chris Carney (D-Pennsylvania)
Brad Ellsworth (D-Indiana)
Tim Holden (D-Pennsylvania)
Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio)
Jim Marshall (D-Georgia)
Jim Matheson (D-Utah)
Vic Snyder (D-Arkansas)
Gene Taylor (D-Mississippi)

I'd like to know what's up with Kucinich and Snyder. Do they want a withdrawal date sooner?

Some surprise ayes;

All Freshman Democrats except Carney voted aye, including Tim Mahoney (D-Florida), Heath Shuler (D-North Carolina), Nancy Boyda (D-Kansas), Nick Lampson (D-Texas), Ciro Rodriguez (D-Texas), Harry Mitchell (D-Arizona), Jerry McNerney (D-California), Zack Space (D-Ohio), Joe Donnelly (D-Indiana), Steve Kagen (D-Wisconsin), and Baron Hill (D-Indiana), all from GOP leaning districts.

Chet Edwards (D-Texas), the President's Congressman, Bud Cramer (D-Alabama), Lincoln Davis (D-Tennessee), Charlie Melacon (D-Louisiana), Melissa Bean (D-Illinois), John Spratt (D-South Carolina), Ike Skelton (D-Missouri), Stephanie Herseth Sandlin (D-South Dakota), Earl Pomeroy (D-North Dakota), Mike McIntyre (D-North Carolina), and Sanford Bishop (D-Georgia) all represent heavily Republican districts and voted aye.
