President-elect Barack Obama will sit down with former rival John McCain in Chicago on Monday, their first meeting since Election Day. The two will be joined by Obama chief of staff Rahm Emanuel and McCain confidant Lindsay Graham, the AP reports. No word on a specific agenda.

"It's well known that they share an important belief that Americans want and deserve a more effective and efficient government, and will discuss ways to work together to make that a reality," said Obama spokesperson Stephanie Cutter. (More Barack Obama stories.)
