“Campaign manager Terry Nelson and chief strategist John Weaver issued terse statements announcing their departures from the McCain camp, which reportedly came after the candidate erupted after concluding that his top-level advisers had mismanaged the operation.”
Classic McCain.
I have to wonder whose idea it was to fall on the amnesty sword? I wonder if the strategists advised him that amnesty was a winning plan and McCain was furious when it backfired or if it was McCain's and the strategists left because he wouldn't listen.
Of course I have the same question about Bush and Lott and their decision to commit political suicide over the issue as well.
