John Lewis & Bill Pascrell Switch To 'yes' On Bailout

Reps. John Lewis (D-Ga.) and Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.), both of whom voted "no" last Monday on the bailout package, just formally announced that they they will support, albeit grudgingly.

Pascrell said, "We've improved certain parts of the bill" since Monday's vote. "So to help the American people, I am now supporting the financial rescue package."
