The 20 senators who bailed out Wall Street but refused to rescue auto workers. from Think Progress

excerpt from http://thinkprogress.org/2008/12/12/20-flipped-on-auto/

Last night, the Senate failed to approve the auto rescue package, voting 52-35 in favor of the bill – just eight short of the 60 votes that were needed. Over on the Wonk Room, Dan Weiss takes a look at the 20 senators who voted for the Wall Street bailout but voted against the auto rescue last night (as well as the 10 others who skipped the vote last night, but voted for the financial bailout):
