Word is going around that it has been postponed to Friday.

Personally, I have not been able to confirm . . .

The Senate vote is tonight. I beleive I saw 7:30 PM EST, but I can't find the source of that info now.

The House will likely vote Friday.

Heard on CNBC that the Senate will vote tonight and it would have to be at least 24 hours after that because of rules. So they said the House would vote Friday.

They want it to be on tv so everyone can watch them spin it as a "rescue" and how the senate is "taking action" while the House "squabbles" (as AOL puts it) because they just spenmt 700 bil of your money.

They want the american people to think the senate is doing such a great thing so that way the house will just pass this 700 billion piece of trash. And what better time to present it than at 9pm im sure all of the network stations will break to coverage and talk about how awesome it is
