The House of Representatives has just passed the $ 14 billion auto bailout bill:
The House just passed the $14 billion Detroit Big Three autos bailout bill by a vote of 237-170, sending it to a Senate where approval is no slam-dunk, thanks to the promised opposition of leading Republicans.
The bill was overwhelmingly endorsed by Democrats (205-20) and strongly opposed by Republicans (32-150).
At this point, the Senate vote is scheduled for Friday, and you can bet there will be plenty of arm-twisting and log-rolling going on between now and then.
