Iowa’s congressional delegation split 2-3 on the $700 billion bailout proposal rejected by Congress today.

Both Iowa Republicans — U.S. Reps. Steve King and Tom Latham — voted against the bill, along with Democratic U.S. Rep. Bruce Braley. Iowa’s two other Democrats, U.S. Reps. Leonard Boswell and Dave Loebsack, went along with the leaders of both parties and supported the bill.

Polling on the bailout has been mixed over the past week, but these were likely votes of conscience and not political calculations. Of Iowa’s five congressmen, only Latham faces a serious challenge at the ballot box this November.
