They Voted For You: SCHIP Veto Override

West Virginia's U.S. House delegation, Reps. Alan Mollohan, D-1st, Shelley Moore Capito, R-2nd, and Nick Rahall, D-3rd, voted Thursday to override President Bush's veto of the State Children's Health Insurance Program legislation.

The 273-156 effort failed to muster a sufficient majority. Capito was among 44 House Republicans to support an override. Two Democrats broke ranks to oppose it.

The Associated Press has details.
