We know this because Mr. Robert Gibbs, in his first official press briefing since being quasi-appointed as White House press secretary, responded to a question about whether Obama had spoken with Sen, McCain since election night.
Not since election night, Gibbs said.
Then he added: "Again he's making some calls to Congress ....one of the calls he made while we were on the tarmac here was to Sen. Lugar who he obviously has had a relationship with since coming to the Senate and he's you know starting to call members of Congress.
"To Lugar?" he was asked.Gibbs: "He made three calls one of them was to Lugar."
Don't read anything into this, an Obama aide said tonight, other than the fact that Obama is bipartisan in his telephonic conferences.
Mr. Lugar's name has been floated by his colleagues as a possible Secretary of State in an Obama administration.
