NH Newspaper 'Suspends' Writing Editorials to Focus on Economy

Posted by Jason Linkins, Huffington Post at 2:01 AM on September 30, 2008.

Okay. Once you get your head around a week in our political lives, during which:

• The first presidential debate was nearly scuttled


• By the candidate who was prepared to decree himself the winner before the debate had even happened


• Indeed, before anyone was certain that the candidate was even going to participate in the debate


• Due to the fact that candidate had announced a "suspension" of his campaign



• (A decision that he never followed through on)


• To help along the legislative process in the ongoing financial bailout wranglings


• (A process to which he ended up contributing nothing)


• (And which he didn't return to work on after the debate had ended)


• Finally to "resuming" a campaign that was never suspended.

We have decided to suspend our editorial activities today so we can adequately ponder the implications of the economic bailout program.
