A non-emergency meeting

The McCain campaign's new urgency about the financial crisis didn't entirely clear his schedule this morning.

My colleague Amie Parnes reports that he made it to his scheduled morning meeting with Lady Lynn de Rothschild, a Clinton backer who recently came out in support of him.

All while Obama was waiting by the phone for a returned call.

1. He can cozy up to Bill Clinton and the PUMAs while the Senate is IN SESSION,

but Friday night when they're not in session, he's too busy in the Senate to debate Obama.

Gotcha.
