Looks like the straight-talk express is driving off the tracks.

[nicmarlo]

Looks like....unless this is the same people....I don’t remember the names from the last article about the dearly departed. : )

[Borax Queen]

Oh, good one (17)! Maybe McCain went broke paying Americans $50/hr to pick lettuce (yeah right).

[nicmarlo]

Maybe he croaked from eating the lettuce that is lettuce pickers crapped on.

How many times has that been in the news about that happening?

I don't have much pity for McCain. He's paying for alot of sins here. I do respect his steady support for the war and I appreciate that, but the mindless havoc that he's cause his own party on the domestic front is irreperable.

One thing is for sure: The mainstream press is the most heart-broken about this. A bad investment for the media elite who's been propping him up and warning us conservatives for many years now that John McCain posed the biggest political threat to traditional GOP politics that we've ever seen.

If undermining his own party from within towards his own victory was his true intent, then he's certainly been a huge success.

His vendors will begin demanding cash up front shortly. That will kill the campaign

I saw a bit on Tucker, talking about how some of the top staff was pulling in as much as $75,000 p/month for consulting. And he had a lot of staff.

The media team had only agreed to work for him but he hadn't run ads yet so they hadn't been paid. Nothing wrong with them leaving because he isn't going to have the cash for a big ad campaign. He's flying coach to IA/NH, not private jets.

One down, two to go!

$75,000 a month!

I wonder what all his donors are thinking about their cash. They probably have so much that they don’t care.

I do not see how McCain can make a comeback. If he does, it will have to be driven entirely by independents and democrats. I don’t think there’s any republican — liberal or conservative — who is not taking his campaign seriously.

And I don’t hear any independents clamoring for McCain.

McCain's puppy quits campaign

"This just sucks, I'm so out of here..."

[Caipirabob]

I kind of feel bad for him. Not much, but I'd sure like to see this happen to Hillary's campaign.

I wish McCain a happy retirement from politics. The sooner the better.

McCain never had a chance if you go by FReepers. McCain built his house in the sand by falling for the adoration of the leftist media. They fed his delusions of adequacy and lead him right up to this point.

McCrazy can only get Dim/indie votes in NH if Hitlery can completely lock up the nomination in advance. Then some of them might cross over to the GOP ballot to make mischief by voting for McCrazy.

Post 33 Correction: who IS taking his campaign seriously.

Sorry

[kevkrom]

How do you spell implode, anyway?

M - C - C - A - I - N.

[xzins]

Obama bin Barama is busy imploding in his own special little sideshow. Chris Dodd? Kucinich? Biden? It’s Hitlery and they all know it. What are the odds that she’ll make it an all female ticket?

In any case, the NH independents and dems will be free to make mischief.

[MinuteGal]

The thing to think about as McCain's departure from reality continues is that he or any other desperate politician has to begin making promises to special interests to raise enough money for a failing campaign.

He certainly cannot take in enough cash from small contributors or the rank-and-file Republican base to continue.

It'll be interesting to analyze his latest donation disclosure form when it's available.
