Can someone explain why Palin is suspending her campaigning too?

[D2bets]

Palin has nothing to do with the bailout or the negotiations. She has nothing to attend to. Isn't it the job of the VP to step in for the President when he is indisposed or busy with other matters? Shouldn't she be stepping it up and not stepping down? This is absolute proof that the stunt is political.

Can I suspend my job too since this is all so serious. I know that, just as Palin, I have nothing to add to the negotiations, but ya know, it's just so criticial. I wouldn't want to be doing anything while they're doing something. That would be wrong.

hno:

 

[BetIt]

I don't think she is

She has an event in Philly tomorrow.

 

[cussin'it]

Gives her a great opportunity to suspend the debate.

She is a babe in the woods around the likes of Joey B. She literally needs months to prepare which she ain't got.

Does anyone have access to any of her "policy papers?" Does she even f'ing have any? What is her opinion on this proposed "bailout"?

Willie or any other Dubya sympathizer, shoot away

</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" class="story" valign="top"> 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.

Democrats have blasted McCain’s move, which includes a call to reschedule his planned Friday debate with Democratic rival Barack Obama, as political posturing, rather than a genuine effort to address the economic crisis.

Asked about Schmidt’s comment, given Palin’s inability to participate in congressional deliberations, spokeswoman Tracey Schmitt told reporters on a Wednesday evening conference call “We are part of the McCain-Palin campaign. It is one ticket.”

But she demurred when asked specifically whether Palin, too, would be suspending her campaign.

“I think Sen. McCain was clear about what it meant that he was suspending his campaign,” Schmitt said, “So, if we have any announcements, any updates about her schedule, we will certainly let you know.”

Schmitt pointed out that Palin’s schedule has only been released through Friday and said that she has no public events planned after she attends a Thursday morning speech McCain is slated to deliver here to the Clinton Global Initiative.

McCain’s announcement puts Palin in a tricky spot.

If Palin continues campaigning, even at a less-than-full schedule, she will be in the mostly unaccustomed position of doing so without McCain by her side and would likely face more criticism if she continued evading the press on the campaign trail.

But if she suspends her campaign, Democrats are sure to pounce on the move as more evidence that the suspension is political.

Even before McCain’s announcement, Palin’s campaign schedule was far from rigorous.

Since Palin was selected as McCain’s running mate in late August, she’s appeared at 21 rallies, most of which were at McCain’s side, has yet to hold a press conference, has conducted less than a handful of national media interviews and has pulled out of several fundraising appearances.

In what most Fox News talk show hosts feel is a gosh darn terrific political move, Republican Vice Presidential candidate, Sarah Palin announced that she is interrupting her campaign to return to Juneau to look at Russia, which you can see from Alaska.
"This is exactly the time that those Ruskies like to attack like they did at Pearl Harbor, don’tcha know," said Palin. "I would hope that Senator Biden would join me and put the country above the campaign and come back to Alaska to make sure the USSR doesn't try something funny."

"Governor Palin believes that geography is more important than

politics," said McCain campaign spokesman, Tucker Bounds. "If Senator Biden wants to place his Vice Presidential aspirations over the security of America, then we’ll let the voter decide who they'd rather wake up next to in the White House at 3AM in case the president dies. And if the American voter wants to picture that person wearing a flimsy, sheer, shortie negligee, so be it."
Asked by Katie Couric what she would do if Russia did make a move toward America, Palin was quick to appear earnest.
"I'd say, thanks, but no thanks, Katie. You know, I put that plane on eBay.”
To her credit, when Couric wanted Palin to name at least one time Russia has stepped over into Alaska, Palin didn't blink.
"I’ll try to find ya some and bring 'em to ya."
In other suspended campaign news, while attempting to chew a piece of Doublemint gum, Republican Presidential candidate, John McCain stumbled and fell off the curb.
