NEW YORK, N.Y. – John McCain's campaign has floated the possibility that Sarah Palin may also suspend her campaign, matching McCain’s announcement that he would cease campaigning for president to return to Washington to try to hammer out a fix for the nation’s financial meltdown.
As the governor of Alaska, Palin cannot participate in the high-level federal government deliberations on the economy that McCain gave as his reason for suspending his campaign.
Yet, after McCain’s dramatic announcement, his campaign chief Steve Schmidt suggested Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee, would also suspend her campaign.
“We're going to take the ads down. They won't be traveling. There won’t be rallies,” Schmidt said when asked about Palin’s campaign, according to a rough transcription provided to reporters.
Please somebody explain the leadership involved in this one. The economy is tanking, which means it hasn't tanked yet, which also means that it isn't dead. If it were dead then perhaps a proper period of morning would be appropriate, weird but perhaps appropriate. So what the snuff is going on?
This is just absolutely unbelievable. They should be disqualified by the Republican party. They know very well that they are on their way down, so they are just going to stop the Presidential campaign in its tracks. Is this even legal? This is unprecedented in the history of American democracy. These clowns are trying to stop the democratic process.
It's like we suspected about Bush/Cheney/Rove - they created so many scandals that we couldn't keep up with all of them. It's like shooting the moon in Hearts. There's even a name for it: "scandal fatigue."
The McCain/Palin campaign is trying to be so pathetic that we won't be able to gauge just how pathetic it is. "Pathetic fatigue."
Well, hell, I suspend my workweek. Let's all suspend something.
Except disbelief.
