For the leaders of the three Detroit auto companies, as well as the United Automobile Workers, gaining public support for their proposed bailout might be a tough sell. Most of the comments throughout Washington and in the major newspapers and Web sites have been negative toward the financial support the companies are asking for.

It will change how businesses will want to be represented and maybe even come down to if businesses can afford public relations at all.
