Not the first time his actions have posed that question (ie; is this move a stroke of genius or suicidal?) during this campaign his political career.
But what do you all think?
I don't think McCain would have suspended his campaign unless he saw something in it for him to be gained by doing so
He'll be banking on it being a stroke of genius, of course! But don't underestimate just how calculating and conniving a politician he, actually, is - and what is often thought as being a bold or a risky move, on his part, is actually far from it

Actually, its a variation of the old 'rose garden' strategy.
Every candidate eventually says stupid things while on the hustings, some more than others (Biden for example).
McCain probably wants Obama to have the limelight, and see if he commits a gaff (you know, criticize Americans for 'clinging' to god and guns).
