John McCain will appear on all three network newscasts tonight, a top aide said.



McCain is at the White House meeting with President Bush, Barack Obama and congressional leaders now and will tape interviews with NBC, ABC and CBS after the West Wing session.



McCain also appeared in a taped interview last night with Katie Couric on CBS.



Aides are still in wait-and-see mode on whether they'll attend the debate but are prepared to have the candidate jet down to Memphis, the closest major airport to Oxford, as late as tomorrow afternoon if a deal is reached.

UPDATE: Barack Obama will also appear on all three network newscasts tonight, aides said.



The presence of both candidates on the national news underscores just how intent each is on staying visible and appearing engaged as the federal government crafts a massive bailout of Wall Street.
