The U.S. House tonight passed an auto bailout package of $14 billion dollars for the Big Three by a comfortable margin. From the Washington Post:

The House tonight, 237-170, approved an emergency plan to prevent the collapse of the nation’s domestic automobile industry, but the measure faced serious obstacles in the Senate, where Republicans were revolting against a White House-brokered deal to speed $14 billion to cash-starved General Motors and Chrysler.

On to the Senate, where Republican opposition is hardening. President Bush is expected to lobby recalcitrant members personally. Look for passage this week.
