“I think he just cut Obama off at the pass.”

He did, and most people here are missing it.
In Political Chess, McCain just pigeon-holed Obama, and has him in check.

Does Obama believe in COUNTRY FIRST? Or Campaigning first.

From this meaningless statement, it’s clear he’s lost.

This post seems to sum up the schizophrenic reactions to the announcement. It was a brilliant political tactic to claim that the suspension wasn't political. Or, by announcing that politics should be put aside, McCain has politically outmaneuvered Obama and will garner a big political boost.

There's a risk that folks won't cotton to this kind of cynical spinning and will view the suspension as, well, just a political gimmick.
