Ohio Congressional Dems Split Over Bush's Wiretap Plan

Ohio's Democratic Congressional delegation split over support of the Bush's wiretap plan. Of Ohio's seven United States Representatives, five voted against the bill while two voted for it. The five who opposed it were Jones, Ryan, Sutton, Kucinich, and Kaptur. The two who voted for it were Space and Wilson. Before readers start to condemn Wilson and Space, it should be remembered that both of them will probably be on the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee's target list for the 2008 election. The actual vote results can be seen here. That's also overlooking the fact that both Representatives Space and Wilson didn't back the bill because they agreed with its provisions.
