For some pretty strange values of "suspend"

McCain said he was suspending his campaign. Guess he needs to be in DC for the big vote - that must be an odd feeling for him. Only Tim Johnson has missed more votes than McCain - and Johnson had a frackin' stroke. But it kinda looks like all he really meant was Hell, no; I'm not debating Obama even if we do change the topic.

His ads are still running. His surrogates - like Nancy Pfotenhauer and Tucker Bounds - are still on the tv attacking Obama and doing live chats for newspapers. He himself has time to have a special meeting with Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild and an interview with Katy Couric. In fact, it's pretty much business as usual - except now he doesn't have to debate Obama.

He must have suspended the campaign, he canceled an appearance on Letterman!

And it looks like that may be the only thing canceled - stations have been told to run the ads, and no office ever closed.

Maybe the debate - we'll see if he shows up. Otherwise, it's ... Letterman? That could be a huge mistake.
