Baron Hill helps House Dems pass cap-and-trade

The Blue Dogs were a mixed bag on this vote (hat tip: Political Bridge).

And unfortunately, Baron was on the wrong side of that bag.

Baron continues to confuse "fiscal conservative" with someone who occasionally disagrees with the Democratic party leadership.

Hoosier Pundit points out that Hill voted against bringing the bill to the floor, before voting to support it. HP predicts gyrations and rationalizations from Hill to try to justify his support for a massive, national energy tax.

HP also notes that 8 GOP'ers supported the bill, providing its margin of victory.
