Ferschnucken!

This has to be the most Ferschnucken Republican Campaign EVER!
.

First they grandstand and suspend the Republican Convention because a hurricane is coming, which is curious after they failed to respond to New Orleans' plight in Katrina's wake. (To preserve the continuity of government and the process, conventions were uninterrupted during war.)

.

Then Senator McCain can't multi-task and handle more than one national problem at a time, so he suspends his campaign.

.

And then there's Satire on Myspace:

McCAIN SUSPENDS CAMPAIGN, RETURNS TO DC BECAUSE "THEY NEED A SENATOR WHO KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT THE ECONOMY TO FIX THE FINANCIAL CRISIS"

.

We can speculate that it's to prevent Governor Palin from debating Senator Biden and distance her from the media.

.

Now, it's being floated by Politico that Governor Palin will also suspend her campaign -

.

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.

.

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.

.

As Politico also notes:

.

John McCain’s campaign is scrapping, rescheduling or offering surrogates for nearly every one of the fundraisers Sarah Palin was to hold this month, instead having her campaign jointly with McCain, prepare for her sole debate next month and get some foreign policy exposure. According to an internal fundraising calendar put together in late-August just before McCain’s vice presidential selection, Palin was to have headlined nine fundraisers across five states by now. She’s attended just one to date.

.

Little noticed in the charade is the delay in reporting her finances (LINK)

.

WASHINGTON - Sarah Palin requested and received an extension of the deadline for revealing her personal finances, until the day after her only debate with Democrat Joe Biden.
.

The Republican vice presidential candidate received a four-day extension Thursday from the Federal Election Commission.

.

Astute political observers have wiser words, but even with a rigged election, Senator McCain is scrambling! It looks like the Republicans should have targeted the wealthy white enclaves for those Diebold machines.

What does the Vice President do? Don't ask Sarah Palin!
