I wanted to compile such a list myself, but the folks at WashingtonWatch.com beat me to it.
Here’s a list of the Congress People who had a “change of heart”1 on the Bailout Bill, and went from non-support to support in a scant few days.
The list also includes links to the MOC’s website, and most importantly, [...]

I have the sickening feeling that the House of Representatives will cave and pass the Bailout Bill1 later today, then adjourn and rush home for the election campaign.

I guess the Senate is planning a vote on Bailout Plan B in primetime tonight.

An update on my earlier PA post: The Senate passed its action on a voice vote; a wonderful gesture of accountability on their part.
Now the House of Representatives says we can extend the Patriot Act for one month, requiring a meeting of the Congressional/Senatorial minds.
What I don’t understand is the posturing going [...]

I can’t find any results of the vote. They’ve apparently agreed to extend the PA for 6 months, while they negotiate safeguards to personal freedoms. Nice to know that our freedoms are negotiable.
Coverage from the lapdog press can be found here.
