CNN has learned McCain’s campaign has only $250,000 left.
WASHINGTON (CNN) – CNN has learned the already-dire situation for Sen. John McCain’s presidential campaign has actually gotten even worse, with two sources close to the candidate saying the campaign only has a paltry $250,000 left.
The sources tell CNN that next week the McCain campaign will reveal it has about $1.75 million in unpaid debts, wiping out the $2 million in cash-on-hand the campaign currently has in the bank.

Live by media adulation, die by media blackout.
Bet that the tribes don’t open their wallets to him again.
Hey John, when Cindy Sheehan can raise more money than your presidential campaign can the party’s over baby.
LOL... we're there for you!
He’s toast. Isn’t schadenfreude wonderful.
It is even worse as Future Former Senator and Former Future VP Lindsay Graham sees a significant career change in his future.
No wonder he was so testy on Russert’s Meet the Press yesterday.
Maybe he can ask Gilmore for some help. I hear he had about $90K in the bank when he quit.

Guiliani is next
Why doesn’t the guy just give up. He is delirious if he thinks that he has a chance to be POTUS. Waste of money and effort.
Jim Gilmore dropped out over the weekend. John should save his money and donate it to the primary winner.
But this can’t be true — the MSM has been telling us since November that McCain is the Republican front runner.
Gee, if only he hadn’t alienated the Republican base by supporting the war in Iraq.
Go Lindsey, GO! (There's the exit.)
When McCain quits, that means that Thompson will win SC. So, the first 3 will be Romney (IA), Romney (NH) and Thompson (SC).
I guess it is still “possible” that Giuliani could take it all on Feb. 5, but I think that’s unlikely (though this cycle is more front loaded than ever before, so we are in uncharted waters).
Bottom line prediction, though. It will be a 2-man race between two good GOP candidates: Romney and Thompson. When Giuliani spends his mountain of money and doesn’t take it all on Feb. 5, he will have to quit.
