Eight House Republicans deserve praise

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi pulled out a major victory with the House's approval of a landmark climate bill -- thanks to a help from some Republicans. 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 vital.
