In fact, because most pols want to get milage out of opposing it, you have a lot of people spinning the bill negative and no one spinning it up.

Unwillingness to spin or inability to explain? There is an easy story to tell if you oppose the bill...$700B cost to tax payers. It is harder to explain why the bill is a good thing. You quickly devolve into a discussion of credit markets and liquidity that almost no one can follow.
