McCain headed back to Capitol Hill

John McCain, having declared victory in the first presidential debate, just told supporters that he's returning to Washington to work on the Wall Street bailout deal.

"I am optimistic we will come to a final agreement soon. All voices must be represented in the final agreement, especially those of taxpayers and homeowners," he said in an email. "We cannot be interested in who would get credit for finding a solution and who would be blamed if an agreement cannot be reached. We must put our country first to solve this economic crisis. Because in the end, that's what leaders do in times of crisis."

So far, Democratic rival Barack Obama plans campaign events Saturday in North Carolina and Virginia.
