Senate To Vote On Bailout Package Tomorrow After Sundown

News out of Washington is that forces in favor of the bailout will start with the more deliberative chamber this time starting tomorrow. The Senate will vote in the evening after a series of stacked votes starting at or around 7:30pm EST, after sundown in respect of Rosh Hashanah.

Post Politics hears that the talk in DC is that the Senate will call up H.R. 1424 which will then then have its text substituted with the economic rescue plan which will include a tax cut stripped from the House version. The bill will be subject to a 60-vote threshold for passage.

Both Barack Obama and John McCain will return to the Senate for the vote.
