PITTSBURGH--No word on whether they made any crank calls to one of the McCain homes.
But even as Barack Obama and Joe Biden were getting to know each other better, the younger members of the families were doing the same through that familiar childhood event, the sleepover.
So said Barack Obama outside an ice cream shop in Aliquippa, Pa., this afternoon in response to reporter's question on the mood of the new Democratic ticket.
"You know, our families have just really hit it off," Obama said. "We had some of his grandkids over for a sleepover with Malia and Sasha and they- they just had a great time. I'm absolutely convinced that Joe Biden is the right person to help move this country in the direction where working families have a shot."
An Obama press aide said a few of the Biden grandchildren stayed the night together with the Obama girls at a hotel suite on Tuesday, the night before Biden delivered his speech to the convention.
