Not going to happen. If GOP doesn't (mostly) support this, Dems will not pass it. Leadership in both parties is strictly in re-election mode, they will cover each others asses at the expense of pretty much anything else. Party lines and idealogy be damned.
What gets interesting is the stunt Shelby just pulled - that was a serious throwing down of the gauntlet and just short of a physical slap to the face of the President. This may end up being a right proper non-partisan food fight with GOP/DEM anti-bailers against GOP/DEM bailers.
No one trusts Bush,Paulson,Bernake. Republicans can re take the base if they will just unite and stop this bailout.
