“Some people have criticized my decision to put my country first, but I will never, ever be a president who sits on the sidelines when this country faces a crisis,” said Mr. McCain. And Mr. McCain, who spent this weekend in Washington working the phones, but did not actually return to Capitol Hill, said: “I know that many of you have noticed, but it’s not my style to simply ‘phone it in.’”

Heh. The media is getting awfully snarky these days. I’m seeing little quips like this more and more. I think the persistent lying on the part of the McCain campaign slowly but surely is eroding support, at least among the media.
