UHMM, does anyone know if Kit Bond got his pork before the vote? If so, Shelby's vote could be construed, especially by him, as a protest against the policy. A long shot, I know.

If anyone is keeping score, it must be Citizens Against Government Waste.

"House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank, (D-Mass.) won with 49 percent of the vote.  In second place was Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas) with 26.3 percent.  Third-place honors went to Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) with 6.6 percent.  Honorable mentions go out to Rep. Russ Carnahan (D-Mo.) with 5.9 percent and Rep. Neil Abercrombie (D-Hawaii) with 5.5 percent.  President Barack Obama was the overwhelming favorite in the write-in category, coming in just behind Rep. Abercrombie and ahead of last-place Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood."

Diversity is the key to economic and political evolution.
