AS you can see by the dates of previous entries the Poli report gave up on McCain back during the horrible Immigration bill fiasco. The last post was from May and then McCain came back with such low fundraising numbers. McCain certainly could have been saved by a rich donor but as I thought and as many others stated since then ironically his own rules kept that from happening in his time of need. It's been a painful experience to watch his campaign slowly faily apart.
It's become a painful site to see for the highly successful and famous Senator.
Since Mr. McCain accepted the resignations of former campaign manager Terry Nelson and chief strategist John Weaver two weeks ago, and put Mr. Davis in charge, more than a dozen senior staffers have left from the headquarters in northern Virginia as well as state offices in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina -- all states with early nominating contests. Several fund-raisers have cut their ties to the campaign, which reported a debt at the end of the second quarter.
Now an article from WSJ revealed more bad news.
Political ad-makers Russ Schriefer and Stuart Stevens, veterans of President Bush's 2000 and 2004 campaigns, on Monday emailed the new campaign manager -- lobbyist and longtime McCain adviser Rick Davis -- to say that they were quitting. The two men told friends they had considered leaving for days, as they hadn't been paid and the campaign's financial straits raised questions of when and how much they would be.
I feel like I'm watching someone pull the legs of a spider one by one while it tries to crawl
across its web.
