McCain spokesman Brian Rogers passes on the following:
Senator Obama phoned Senator McCain at 8:30 am this
morning but did not reach him. The topic of Senator Obama's call to
Senator McCain was never discussed. Senator McCain was meeting with
economic advisers and talking to leaders in Congress throughout the
day prior to calling Senator Obama. At 2:30 pm, Senator McCain
phoned Senator Obama and expressed deep concern that the plan on
the table would not pass as it currently stands. He asked Senator
Obama to join him in returning to Washington to lead a bipartisan
effort to solve this problem.
UPDATE: Rogers follows up to say the campaign will also suspend its
ads and fundraising.
