Patterico flags this LA Times story on the failure of the auto bailout:

Republican opposition killed a $14-billion auto industry bailout plan in the Senate on Thursday night, putting the future of U.S. automakers in doubt and threatening to deliver another blow to the economy. [...]

Senate Democrats couldn't bring the measure up for a vote without the support of at least 10 Republicans. Ultimately, they were seven votes short.

In fact, precisely 10 Republican senators voted for cloture on the bailout bill.
