"Ok,so when will he be getting back in the race? Under what conditions will he "reinstate" his campaign?"

That's not a prerequisite for suspending a campaign.

"The legal loophole you describe does not change the meaning of "Suspend" or "End".

Actually it does.

What Santorum just did is END his campaign"

No. Santorum will no doubt continue to have elements of his campaign at work soliciting and trying to raise funds to pay off his debts. That can only be done while he has a campaign registered with the FEC. The public aspects of his campaign, speaking appearances, campaign stops etc. will suspend, but the campaign is not over.

If he said he was terminating, or ending his campaign, that would be dishonest. You're the one who demanded he use "precision", specific honest language. He did, and you're pissed off at him because you're too obtuse to understand the meaning of the words he used.

Ok I get it. I guess I don't understand the meaning of "campaign". In this context I thought that meant Rick Santorum was running for political office but I guess it really means soliciting funds and paying off debts. He is no longer running for president but he is still campaigning in suspended mode.....

Is George Bush still campainging? Is World War Two over or is it just suspended? I'm just curious....
