Working hard...... (Updated)
(Politico) "John McCain will appear on all three network newscasts tonight, a top aide said."
Later: (Politico) "McCain left ABC at 5:46 pm after speaking to all the nets inside. He arrived at his residence at 5:57 pm."
So, McCain flew into Washington mid afternoon, stopped by Boehner's office briefly, went to the meeting at the White House, was the first to leave, did three interviews with all the networks, and then went straight home.
Oh, but he's working so hard on the bill.....

I read somewhere today that McCain also skipped out on a debate scheduled in CA in 1990 in the GOP primaries after Bush took a commanding lead...

That's interesting, I didn't know that.
It would change the aspect of the thing.

Yeah, I caught some blog referencing that and linking some of the stories from the time.
(For future reference, I'll catch most of that type of error. I figured out what you meant.
Thanks for correcting, but you didn't have to.)
