McCain suspending the campaign actually reminds me of Bob Dole's dramatic decision to resign from the Senate back in 1996. That worked, huh?


Listen, you partisan douchebag. I was saying that anyone running for president, once gaining the nomination, should step down from any other elected position despite what their party affiliations are. If you're going to spend all your time campaigning, fund raising, etc. you don't have the time to do your job as a governor/senator/whatever that the people elected you to do. It should be an all or nothing decision.
