Boy, is Freerepublic slow for me today. I clicked to open this window, and had to wait 10 minutes for it to respond, so now probably dozens of other posts have got in first.

Anyway, it seems excessively theatric for the McCain campaign to pull *all* its ads. In fact, a poor idea, IMO. They should leave one or two positive placeholder ads at least until John McCain gets back into campaign mode.

Think of the ads McCain can run when this is over.

Think of how the entire news cycle for the next week will be about McCain's decision.

One of Palin's biggest applause line was when she said that McCain would rather lose an election than see his country lose a war. One week from today, they can repeat that meme. For five more weeks.
