In Washington, the scandal over the undercover videos prompted the House Thursday afternoon to follow the Senate and vote on an amendment denying funding to ACORN. The vote, on a provision attached to a student aid bill, was 345-75, with Democrats supplying all the ``no'' votes.

Florida Democrats voting no included Robert Wexler of Boca Raton, Kathy Castor of Tampa and Corrine Brown of Jacksonville.

Rep. Kendrick Meek, a Miami Democrat who is running for U.S. Senate along with Crist and Rubio, said he voted yes because of lingering problems with ACORN.

``The accountability from the top down has not been in place,'' he said. ``We're the stewards of the taxpayer dollars, and we're going to have to turn the spigot off until they get their act together.''

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Weston, also voted for the amendment

2. Damn near all of them voted for it. Must be...

some serious yelling from their districts. Try to tell me we've seen the end opf racial politics.

(I don't have the time to check, but I'd bet real money that the few votes against it were mostly from urban districts and for it from suburbia.)

3. 345 Yes votes? Lot more D's voted Yes than Meek and Wasserman-Schultz

4. Perhaps after this is sorted out

ACORN can get their operating money from those who financed and made the video.

5. The vast majority Democrats in House voted for this:

6. they have been in the spotlight for a year

what did they expect. The "orders" from the top should have been - stay squeaky clean.

Those tapes were damning - public reaction will only support the action taken by the house and the results.
