WASHINGTON — Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama plans to return to the Senate this week so he can vote for the Wall Street bailout package.


The Illinois senator is expected to support the plan, but hasn't committed yet since he's still examining the details. The $700 billion compromise legislation is up for a vote Monday in the House, with the Senate vote expected as early as Wednesday.


A spokesman for John McCain said the Republican nominee plans to be in Washington and hopes he'll be able to vote, depending on the schedule.


Obama was scheduled to campaign Wednesday in La Crosse, Wis. It was unclear if his morning rally there would still go on, depending on when the vote is scheduled, but campaign organizers said they hoped he could still attend.

I'd like to know what exactly this plan entailed so I can make up my own mind whether the representatives voting against it were right or wrong.

Just heard on T.V. that the ranking republican on the committee who was in favor of the bailout THOUGHT he had the republican votes.

As necessary as some sort of legislation might be, I don't blame anyone who voted against this bill.

The evidence of the Democrat involvement in this crisis is amazing, yet it seems to go unnoticed or just simply ignored. I was watching CNN today when the house voted against this bill.
