Originally Posted By gurgitoy2 Well, it will be hard for him to do so with the Jewish holidays. Nothing is going to get done until Thursday anwya, so why suspend when people are not making a decision on Capitol hill? I think that would look like a bigger cop out than the first time he did it.

Originally Posted By WorldDisney Can someone explain to me why would he have to suspend anything?? Its been said, he has a VP now, she just lead it while he goes off to Washington, whats the issue? And also he had his debate to contend with, so it was a little understandable, but this week its Palin turn, so he doesnt have to be around for that. He has hundreds of people involved in his campaign including campaign manager, spokespeople, strategist etc. Why cant they just continue without him for a few days? This really makes no sense and he would be an idiot to do it again after the reviews he got last week.

Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan >>Can someone explain to me why would he have to suspend anything?<< a. Dramatic effect! b. To grab headlines! c. To steer attention away from his VP's bumbling answers! d. All of the above!

Unfortunately. I had a *bad* week after the Republican convention and McCain's numbers bounced. I realized I might just be a little too invested in this whole thing. I pondered stepping away from following it all for a while. So I refuse to get my hopes up again.
