Yesterday, McCain announced that he was suspending his campaign until Monday because of the economic crisis. This meant no debate, no ads, and, presumably, no campaign spokespersons.
So, this morning, Nicole Wallace appeared on Morning Joe, making the case for McCain's suspension. McCain himself appeared at Clinton's Global Initiative and campaigned, er, not campaigned. And, according to Politico, McCain's ads are still appearing in swing states. A McCain spokesperson, Brian Rogers, stated the campaign "started pulling them down yesterday afternoon. This takes time."
So, what exactly did McCain suspend?
Why did he suspend it? To rush back to Washington (Thursday afternoon) and pressure Congress (even though he is not on the committee and has little economic knowledge) to pass a bill. To prevent the debate? To show that he is in charge?
And Bill Clinton, how is this a "good-faith effort?"
Update: MSNBC reports an agreement is in place. I guess there will be a debate tomorrow night, right Grandpa Simpson?
