Suspended?

March 20, 2008 | 3:17 PM

Politico's Jonathan Martin is reporting that the John McCain campaign staffer responsible for circulating the vid below has been suspended.

Martin writes that "Soren Dayton, who works in McCain's political department, sent out the YouTube link of 'Is Obama Wright?' on twitter at 12:31 today with the tag, 'Good video on Obama and Wright.' It has since been taken down. ... The video Dayton sent, which includes images of Malcolm X, the black Olympians raising their hands in the black power salute and the rap song "Fight the Power," has been rapidly spreading in political circles this week."

It's already aired on cable. Suspended? Why not fired?
