McCain Campaign On Last Legs
John McCain will not be the next president of the United States. Although he is still in the race, no front-runner is in such a dire situation as McCain. The campaign is running out of money, and some key architects of that campaign are being jettisoned.
Terry Nelson's campaign manager resigned today, along with chief strategist John Weaver. Both seemed to know what the rest of us already know and McCain should know soon: he can't win.
Sure, Clinton only had 2% in the polls at this point in 1991. Jimmy Carter was hovering around the same territory in 1975. This is different: McCain is losing momentum, not gaining it. The grassroots voters are going for Ron Paul, or Mike Gravel, or Barack Obama. Nobody is left for McCain, because he won't let go of the Iraq War. He made a mistake in letting the president send troops, and he's making a bigger mistake by not acknowledging that.
