Nancy Pfotenhauer, McCain’s Senior Policy Advisor said that Obama called this morning, but never advised them of the topic he wanted to discuss...just that he wanted to talk to McCain.
I think this point needs to be repeated....Obama called McCain this morning, but NEVER SPOKE TO McCAIN. McCain called Obama later in the afternoon, spoke to Obama, and informed him of his decision to suspend the campaign and that he thought it might be a good idea to delay the debate (not cancel - delay).
