5. CAFTA bill not whipped. No wonder 15 Democrats deserted the party.
The decision not to whip the bill formally may also play well for Hoyer personally. He has cultivated a reputation as a member of Democratic leadership who is friendly to business interests. Hoyer’s support of this year’s bankruptcy bill, however, triggered criticism from some progressives in the House.
