Either Old Man McCain was napping or he didn’t feel his meeting with five powerful members of the House of Reps was important enough to attend yesterday.

On Monday afternoon, McCain economic adviser Douglas Holtz-Eakin was scheduled to meet with Reps. Eric Cantor (R-Va.), Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas), John Campbell (R-Calif.), Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and Buck McKeon (R-Calif.) on the economy. [sleepy]

Apparently he’ll be napping again today.

Rick Davis, McCain’s campaign manager, will meet with the Republican whip team on Tuesday, according to two Republican sources.
