Hard to Believe, but Appropriate

While both presidential campaugns are issuing appropriate statements and cancelling appearances following the shootings in Aurora CO, spokespeople for the campaigns are announcing the suspension of "negative" ads scheduled for broadcast in Colorado markets.

The Obama campaign has asked network affiliates to pull all negative advertising running in the state.  The campaign has not suggested when ads may resume.

Romney campaign spokesperson, Andrea Sau, announced that the campaign has requested all advertising to be pulled from the air "for the time being."

Further information on the resumption of campaign ads is not forthcoming from either campaign.

This unprecedented move by the campaigns demonstrates that somethings are more important than politics. More from The Hill
