NANCY PELOSI VOTES TO ADJOURN HOUSE WITHOUT TAX VOTE

It seems Pelosi will not allow vote to extend Bush tax cuts until after elections. Her game plan is to wait until after elections to bring it up for a vote, knowing most of her buddies will not be around next year. She's hoping for a lame-duck congress to get what she wants.

Thirty-nine Democrats, many of them in tight races, broke ranks Wednesday to vote against adjourning the House, a direct rebuke to Democratic leaders’ decision not to hold a tax cut vote before adjourning for elections.

The vote was so close, 210-209, that Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who rarely votes on day to day legislation, had to cast the tie breaking vote on the adjournment resolution. [link to www.politico.com]
