Meanwhile, just to the north, in Kokomo, Ind., Rich Boruff, vice- president of the United Auto Workers local 685, is closely watching the developments. Kokomo boasts plants for Chrysler and one of the nation's largest auto parts suppliers, Delphi. So there is much at stake. Boruff and his troops have been calling and e-mailing their Congressional representatives, urging them to support a bailout for the major automakers.

Company execs stress that GM has ample cash. But bankruptcy is a psychological event as much as a financial one; Delphi sought Chapter 11 protection not because it ran out of money but because it ran out of credibility, sparking a run on the bank.
