if anyone watches 1st business I am in a position to watch tomorrow's show tonight because of my job and the guest (I wish I'd written down her name) tomorrow morning put it brilliantly:

Paulson's plan is like asking for something so outrageous you know you won't get so when the inevitable "no" comes you can offer up this other not-quite-so-outrageous plan that will look so much better by comparison that it's sure to be granted. Paulson's is the uber-outrageous; Dodd's is the merely outrageous. If Paulson's plan wasn't out there then Dodd's would never pass.

For more detail watch first business. I'm not sure how their website works (when it's updated. Monday's info is still up so tomorrow's may come at 6am or so)
