"The presidential campaign of Senator John McCain, the Arizona Republican who once seemed poised to be his party’s nominee in 2008, acknowledged yesterday that it was in a political and financial crisis as a drop in fund-raising forced it to dismiss dozens of workers and aides and retool its strategy on where to compete."

4. Gee - it couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy!

5. A drop in fundraising?

He pulled in $13 million in the first quarter, and $11 million in the second. That's a drop, but not a steep one. Of course, when your burn rate is just above drunken sailor (though apparently just below new rap sensation) and you only have $2 million left in the bank, there are going to be folks saying to themselves, "He spent $22 million on a campaign to be in single digits?"

The Republicans really, really miss old George Felix Allen, don't they?

So all that sucking up to President Bush got him nowhere.

I hope is old ex friend John Kerry calls him up and say "Hey fucker your getting exactly what you fucking deserve".

There can be only ONE idiot boy king. Sure don't know why McCain wanted to out-Bush Bush, when his popularity was LOWER THAN BIN LADEN's internationally. Oh, that's right....McCain is a fucking IDIOT.

10. Stick a fork in him - he's done - was done a long time ago...

from his urging a nuke attack on muslims, to his lies about Iraq, to his support for INCREASING the Iraq war front - he's a fucking lunatic...

I'm so happy to see him crash and burn...

Now if he'd just resign and go away or die already...
