Politico's Mike Allen is reporting that both Barack Obama and John McCain now say they'll return to the Senate this week to vote on the bailout bill. Both campaigns gave squishy responses when asked about the vote over the weekend, but there's been so much grandstanding on this issue in the past week that it would have been awfully awkward if one or both of them bailed. The Senate could take up the package as early as Wednesday.
