COLUMBUS, Ohio -- After bragging today about his role in shaping the economic bailout package, Sen. John McCain has made no statement to the press since the defeat of the bill, in part at the hands of House Republicans.

McCain boarded his Straight Talk Air charter plane a few minutes ago, but the plane has not taken off yet. McCain is in the front of the plane, separated from reporters by a brown curtain

Aides to McCain have not characterized his reaction to the bills defeat. On Sunday, he said he would "swallow hard" but vote for the plan, which he said was better than originally proposed.

Reporters have not been told whether McCain will still travel to Des Moines, Iowa, or return to Washington to deal with the aftermath of the bill's defeat.

Meanwhile, Democrats on the Hill began circulating a comment McCain strategist Steve Schmidt made on the bailout bill negotiations on "Meet the Press" on Sunday, taking credit for helping bring House Republicans along.

"What Senator McCain was able to do was to help bring all of the parties to the table, including the House Republicans, whose votes were needed to pass this," Schmidt had said.
