Voting on the Surge

Unsurprisingly, the Washington Post reports that all six Maryland House Democrats voted for the non-binding resolution condemning President Bush's plan to send more troops to Iraq. Eastern Shore Rep. Wayne Gilchrist was one of the seventeen Republicans who defied the party whip and voted with the Democrats on this one. Only two Democrats (Gene Taylor of Mississippi and Jim Marshall of Georgia) voted with the Republicans.
