Lawmakers hesitant on bailout

Georgia Republicans and Democrats say they're in no rush to support the Bush administration's proposed $700 billion financial bailout. But despite lots of tough talk about Wall Street greed, most appear ready to go along with some sort of taxpayer-funded intervention. They say the stakes are simply too high. Many said they would wait to see the final package that Congress takes up before deciding whether to support a bailout.
