McCain: Define Suspend

Obviously, Sen. McCain is not quite clear on what it means to suspend a campaign. After supposedly suspending his campaign due to his urgent need to return to Washington, McCain did not actually arrive in the nation's capitol for another 22 hours. How did McCain spend those 22 hours you ask. Studying Paulson's bailout plan? Meeting with the nation's financial titans? Reaching out to fellow pols to broker a compromise? Not according to MSNBC which reports that during those 22 hours McCain was interviewed live by Katie Couric in New York, dined at a New York restaurant, spent the night in a New York hotel and spoke the next morning at the Clinton Global Initiative in New York. McCain spokespersons obviously didn't get the word that the campaign was suspended because they continued to appear regularly on news shows to remind us that John McCain was putting the country ahead of politics and his own poltical ambitions. And I have serious doubts that the McCain campaign has stopped accepting donations. As for the campaign's claim to have halted 8 million dollars in radio and TV ads, well, all I can say to that is they must have forgotten to stop those ads in the battle ground states. I know because I live in one. The Huffinton Post called McCain campaign offices in the battle ground states and found business as usual. One McCain staffer in Missouri asked exactly what it was that the campaign was suspending. I think that's the question that we're all asking.
