Suspend

All three cable news channels, along with various other media, are reporting that John McCain is “suspending” his presidential campaign. But the news reports I have seen haven't established that this has actually happened. Has all campaign work -- GOTV planning, speechwriting, etc -- stopped? Are McCain campaign staffers streaming out of campaign offices all across the country, going home indefinitely? If so, it should be easy enough for news organizations to confirm that the campaign is really “suspending.” Otherwise, media should probably stop reporting McCain's spin as fact.
