And then there were two . . .
From 8 Democrats on the initial House vote to 2 this time. From The Macon Telegraph:
Rep. Jim Marshall was one of only two House Democrats to vote against overriding President Bush's veto of a $35 billion spending increase for the State Children's Health Insurance Program on Thursday.
"We're trying to say to Marshall, don't take the Democratic base for granted," said Howie Klein, treasurer of Blue America, a group of politically active bloggers. "If he wants that Democratic vote in his district, then he's going to have to vote like a Democrat."

Two largely overlooked provisions of SCHIP would address the urgent issue of protecting military families as outlined by the Dole-Shalala Commission. Sections 621 and 622, under Subtitle C, provide one year of employment discrimination protection to family members caring for grievously wounded troops, and extend permitted work leave for these caretakers from three to six months.
