Something that needs to be clearly understood and widely repeated:
McCain HAS NOT suspended his campaign. "Above the fray" is merely the
latest campaign strategy. This is classic liar's paradox: Catch 22,
double bind.
McCain's wager is that in the dysfunctional American society, the
rules of the double bind prevail and he will be permitted to re-brand
his campaign as not a campaign.
The motivation is clear, and its double:
1) a desperate attempt to wriggle out of debating Obama and exposing
his complete incompetence in international economics, the country's
#1 (and #2 and #3) foreign policy issue.
2) a desperate need to conserve his very limited (publically funded)
financial resources until Rove can come up with a presumably more
effective advertising campaign to slime Obama--the pit-bull-bitch ploy
ain't working!
