McCain says hopes to support bailout plan
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate John McCain said on Sunday he hoped to support a $700 billion Wall Street bailout package that has been brokered by the Bush administration and the U.S. Congress.

McCain said the deal was something people would have to "swallow hard" and go forward with.
