Annual Cost of Climate Change Bill: $560 Per American

Friday's vote was 219-212. The legislation was supported by 211 Democrats and eight aisle-crossing GOP members: Reps. Mary Bono (Calif.), Michael Castle (Del.), Mark Kirk (Ill.), Leonard Lance (N.J.), Frank LoBiondo (N.J.), John McHugh (N.Y.), David Reichert (Wash.) and Christopher Smith (N.J.). Forty-four Democrats voted against the bill, making the eight GOP votes all the more crucial.

The majority of the 52 House members who broke party ranks on Friday�s cap-and-trade climate change vote came from congressional districts that backed the presidential nominee of the opposite party in last year�s election.

Nearly all of these members will face competitive races in 2010, according to Congressional Quarterly, and many will likely brandish this ostensibly independent vote as evidence of their political independence.

Here�s the list of the 44 Democratic "no" votes that chose to go against their party leader, President Barack Obama.
