Suspending?

Please for once can we have a politician tell the truth. He is NOT SUSPENDING HIS CAMPAIGN. HE IS ENDING IT!

Good grief, no wonder Americans don't trust any politician. They NEVER say what they truly mean.

Please Rick, Tell the truth. Words mean things.

You're right. Words mean things. That's why Rick is suspending his campaign. It's a word with a very specific legal definition and status that means he's allowed to continue to accrue funds to retire his campaign debt. If he ended his campaign, he would not be permitted to do so.

Legally I believe he has to say “suspending” rather than “ending” his campaign or else he loses his delegates. And while Romney now will be the nominee, conservative delegates can at least push for a better conservative GOP party plank. Not much, but better than nothing.

Someone on FR explained to me that “suspending” is a legal term. It give the campaign organization time to pay off its debts to creditors.

Santorum is only ‘suspending’ his campaign so he can continue to raise funds to clear as much of his debt as possible.

“Suspending” his campaign has something to do with maintaining control over the delegates he’s won so far....or something on that order.
