FWIW sources are saying that Weaver was fired and Nelson quit to protest Weaver being fired. I have heard it four times today and don’t have a clue if it is true or not but these people should have some idea since they know people in the McCain campaign.
Interesting if true. Weaver was close to McCain for years (according to the stories). One would think it would be the other way around. But as McCain's political guru, I wonder whether he took the hit for McCain's trouble with immigration.
A number of sources are saying that Reed Galen, who had been serving as McCain’s deputy campaign manager, and Rob Jesmer, the campaign’s political director, have tendered their resignations.
