Senate to vote on bailout bill today - the vote will occur after sundown in observance of Rosh Hashanah. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) are confident of passage - Let's see how well they count their votes.
Several changes have been made to the House bill which failed including the raising of the FDIC insurance from $100,000 to $250,000. This was a change first proposed by Senator Obama, later seconded by Senator McCain and agreed to by President Bush. Also relief from the Alternative Minimum Tax. CNN.com has more here.
