Update 2: The Trail: McCain's "Straight Talk Air" landed at National Airport just after noon, and McCain's motorcade sped toward the Senate. But by then, senior Democrats and Republicans colleagues were already announcing that a deal in principle had been reached.
McCain's flunkies are all over TV attacking Obama. "McCain Campaign Still Active Across The Country".....And then there's this:
