The House earlier today passed House Concurrent Resolution 63 246-182 with 6 abstentions (including Dennis Hastert).
Here's how Washington's delegation voted:
Brian Baird (WA-3 D) Abstain
Norm Dicks (WA-6 D) Yea
Doc Hastings (WA-4 R) Nay
Jay Inslee (WA-1 D) Yea
Rick Larsen (WA-2 D) Yea
Jim McDermott (WA-7 D) Yea
Cathy McMorris (WA-5 R) Nay
Dave Reichert (WA-8 R) Nay
Adam Smith (WA-9 D) Yea
No real surprises there. All of the Democrats voted yea, with Baird abstaining (which is interesting, as he spoke so passionately on its behalf), while all the Republicans voted nay. McMorris and Reichert are both Republican light-weights who relied heavily on the Republican National Committee for their re-election bids. Doc Hastings is a total hack who was named chairman of the House Ethics committee after the former chair was sacked by Hastert for supporting the investigations into Tom DeLay, so his voted against was as predictable as the sunrise.
While the party identifiers, by an large, indicated how a given Representative would vote (within the Washington delegation and otherwise), it's important to note that a good deal of the Washington delegation originally supported to war. I believe Norm Dicks, Brian Baird, and Jim McDermott were the only Washingtonians in the House to vote against (Murray voted against the war in the Senate, while Cantwell voted for it). To their credit, Larsen and Inslee came out as critics of the war pretty early, before it was absolutely safe to do so. Both of their districts (WA-1 and WA-2) have large military communities, so I imagine they were playing to those constituencies (no excuse).
