Mark Ritchie On Sen. Coleman's Campaign

The Senate on Wednesday passed a $700 billion plan to stabilize U.S. financial markets, in a dramatic game of one-upmanship that sends the issue back into the lower chamber, where it narrowly failed on Monday.

The bill had no trouble exceeding the 60-vote threshold needed for passage after Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) hammered out an agreement late Tuesday.
