Will She Still Charge McCain Per Diem?

Hey Ryan,

Looks like Sarah Palin's campaign might be "suspended," too. Of course, that's not saying much.

Since her nomination 26 days ago, she has been to 21 rallies (mostly with McCain), has done three interviews, speed-dated the U.N., Henry Kissinger, and Rupert Murdoch, and snubbed Bono.

That's a pretty full schedule there! That looks like a Bill Clinton I'm-campaigning-for-someone-besides-my-wife-type of itinerary! Don't blow yourself out, Sarah!

So the two questions that remain are:

1. Since she has been doing very little by campaign standards, will this be a "suspension" or a "vacation"? And...

2. Will she charge the McCain campaign per diem while she's off the road?

The VP job looks like good work, if you can get it.
