Should Ripping Stop For 2 Days??

[mkemse]

When McCain halted his campaign to try and get the process moving a bit around the economic issue, did the negative attacks on him stop during that time?

Come on, politics is politics, election day is not being pushed back 2 days, why would they stop?

Yes both sides stopped negative add and attcked for 2-3 days

I was asking more in a rhetorical way than anything else. When McCain stopped his campaign ( which was in effect beginning a campaign of a different style), CNN and other "unbiased" news agencies began attacking him for inserting himself into the negotiating process and stopping his campaign. And of course, obama officials were right there to offer their opinions on whether it was wise to stop campaigning or not. A very effective, subtle way of campaigning during the interlude.

If you believe campaigning stopped during that short period of time, I've got some prime ocean front property along the Colorado River in the Sonoran desert to sell you.
