There are several ways to analyze this. If you compare the first moment it news hits, the bailout has a lot more activity. The only reason the stimulus package got over the 400 index level was because tax day came and went; they were looking for their money.
I firmly believe the bailout failed because of the public outcry. I think both the stimulus plans and the bailout plans are all immoral. But it's interesting to gawk at, nonetheless. When it comes down to it, the bailout was just bigger and more egregious to people. In terms of how people mobilized against it, this was impressive. Hopefully Bailout Plan B will get shot down in like manner.
