NO VOTE, NO NEWT:

Two House Republicans who bucked Newt Gingrich last week by voting against their leader's back-to-work bill for federal workers may pay for it in campaign dollars. Gingrich backed out of two fundraisers for Indiana Reps. John Hostettler and Mark Souder after the two joined 13 other Republicans on Friday opposing a plan to end the federal shutdown, despite the Speaker's emotional appeal for support. The bill passed easily 401-17 but Gingrich isn't forgetting the slight, altering his schedule to favor those who voted with him. Gingrich aide Tony Blankley confirmed that the votes led the Speaker to dump the fundraisers.
