The Drudge Report says Senator John McCain submitted an op-ed to the NY Times, hoping for some equal time as Senator Barack Obama's "Plan for Iraq" was published last week, but the Times turned it down. Apparently NYT Op-Ed editor David Shipley emailed the McCain campaign, "It would be terrific to have an article from Senator McCain that mirrors Senator Obama's piece. I'm not going to be able to accept this piece as currently written." Drudge Report has McCain's editorial submission, as does Politico, which headlines it "McCain camp continues Drudge courtship."
