...from. Less easy to understand is why Paulson initially stubbornly insisted that the bailout bill be structured as an asset-purchase plan - it's still called the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP - rather than as a straightforward recapitalization of troubled banks. Treasury has since switched to the latter approach, so far putting $216 billion of the TARP hoard into capital injections.

Iran's nuclear program is seen as far more menacing than any threat currently emanating from the Palestinians. So, while a majority of voters may incline more toward Livni's two-state approach to peace with the Palestinians, it could yet be swayed by Netanyahu's more hawkish stance on Iran.
