White House makes it official: The 3 p.m. meeting with Hill leaders has been postponed "to allow leaders in the Senate time" to negotiate.

This could be good or bad news depending on the "why". It could be postponed due to a deal being struck in the Senate, or postponed because no chance of a deal in the Senate...Could be a good sign: WH postpones 3PM meeting with Congressional Leaders to give Senate Leaders Reid/McConnell more time for their talks.
