House Fails to Override SCHIP Veto

Bummer.

By a vote of 273 to 156, the measure fell 13 votes short of the two-thirds majority needed for an override. Forty-four Republicans voted for the override.

So pass a 1 month extention, and come back again, and again, and again...

For what it's worth, two "Democrats", Representatives Gene Taylor (MS) and Jim Marshall (GA) voted with the Republicans.

Time to vote these jerks off the island. Do they have primary challengers?
