With the Dow closing down a record 777 points on Monday after Congress thumbed down a $700 billion bailout package for the financial industry, take a look at how the California delegation -- the nation's largest -- voted.
Overall, the delegation cast 29 aye votes and 24 no votes. A majority of both Republican (10 to 9) and Democratic lawmakers (19 to 15) from the state supported the bailout package.
The plan failed the full House of Representatives 228 to 205, with 133 Republicans and 95 Democrats in opposition. A total of 140 Democrats and 65 Republicans backed the plan.
The vote clearly did not split along ideological lines with liberal Rep. Lynn Woolsey voting against the bailout, while fellow liberal Democratic Rep. Howard Berman voted in favor.
Likewise for Republicans, some conservatives like Rep. John Campbell voted in favor, while others like Rep. Duncan Hunter and John Doolittle voted no.
