Why did the 700 Billion Bailout plan fail?
As of today (Oct 2, 2008) it is too early to say the plan failed. The bill as presented in the House of Representatives on September 29, 2008 did not have the necessary votes to pass. Various reasons have been given for its initial failure to pass, including the unpopularity of the bill among residents (as gauged by polls) and the lack of oversight. However, a revised bill now has passed the Senate as of Oct 1, 2008. See "bailout deal" under Wikipedia for additional details.

Why did the House of Representatives decide to pass the 2008 Federal Bailout bill the second time around?
After the stock market plummeted after they rejected it the first time, there was more political pressure on them to take action the second time around. There were also "improvements" made to the bill which made it easier to stomach for some House members.When the House of Representatives voted down the bill on Monday September 29th, the US Stock Market collapsed, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average declining 780 points. This decline scared many representatives because they did not take the warnings from the administration seriously. The market reaction and the subsequent reaction from many individuals who lost over $1 trillion dollars in one day, convinced many who had voted against the bill to change their mind.
