John McCain's campaign is losing two veteran Republican strategists in Iowa and will report a seven-figure debt for the second quarter in a row, back-to-back blows to a presidential bid still reeling from a major staff shake-up earlier this week.
"As much as I like Senator McCain, it's not a team I'm willing to stay involved with any longer," Failor said.
In more bad news for McCain, a co-chair of his Florida campaign — state Rep. Bob Allen — was arrested Wednesday after offering to perform oral sex for $20 on an undercover male police officer, authorities said. Allen, 48, was seen coming in and out of a restroom three times at a park in Titusville, Fla., said police Lt. Todd Hutchinson. He then approached an undercover officer and was arrested.
Is this the end for the man who refuses to leave Bush's side?

I've NEVER understood WHY McCain tied himself to Bush- the way he has, in the FIRST place! Bush treated him like DIRT in each of the past 2 General Elections- and here he is, "going down" with Bush's ship !!! If the guy's judgement is THAT questionable- then maybe it should come as no surprise that his campaign is "going down in flames". It's ONE thing to "stand by"- what you believe in...-But when you're pretty much the ONLY one left believing in it - does THAT really make for good "Presidential Material" ???

maximum Blacks vote for the Democrats as became shown in 2000 and 2004 so your factor is moot. John McCain could have been perceived as Bush II through fact he ran with the great canines in the Bush administration What became mandatory became not a *MAVERICK* yet an entire opposite of Bush Junior and the Republicans could desire to not try this to their own social gathering regardless of the undeniable fact that i understand various Republicans might have % to have disassociated themselves from Bush Junion Colin Powell could have been excellant if he could have purely been truthful adequate to throw Bush Junior below the bus and say *specific the final 4 3 hundred and sixty 5 days we've made various errors yet i'm area of the answer and not area of the project* and likewise a good vice chairman Candidate and not Sarah Palin or maybe a Joe Biden form. perhaps even a Joe Lieberman turncoat? Who is acquainted with? Blacks voted for the Democrats and you're good appropriate to the Republicans..quite a lot..it became time for a *replace* and that's for effective.

No. Bush still has 29% of Americans convinced that he is king and the McCain is his designated heir. As the other Republican Candidates move ruther away from Bush on Iraq, you'll see more Arab money coming in for McCain.
My guess is that Fred Thompson will go down first. The platform he's running on isn't supported by his voting record or lobbying activities. Right now he's enjoying the benefit of no one knowing him for anything but "Law and Order." The other candidates already have people out digging up the dirt and when it hits, he's gone.

Its inevitable that Ron Paul will soon be the last Republican standing and the one who defeats Queen Hillary on November 4th 2008. He is against the War and stands for a more rational economic position than the Democrats.

I am a liberal Dem, but think McCain is a decent, sincere guy. He is a hell of a lot better and less dangerous than many of his fellow candidates. Specifically, Romney and Thompson are evil doers( to coin a phrase).
Maybe McCain is too honest for many folks.

He can't figure out what side of the fence he's on, and he's already done for. By supporting Kennedy's bill on immigration, he's done. Mccain Feingold didn't help either. He should just go home. Like him, I do, but now he's wasting everyone's time, he's not ever, EVER, going to be President.

I was a big McCain supporter in 2000. I still don't understand why he let Dubya sodomize his campaign in S.C. without a whimper... Oh well John; your day came and went.

Yes, I think it is, and yes, I liked him a lot better than Bush (or Gore), in 2000. He's changed so many times, I can't keep up. Bush (Rove really) trashed him with black kid business, and he never recovered.
Plus he voted FOR amnesty... It's like it's banana time in the monkey house!

He shouldn't even come to the debate on July 23rd.
It should end there.
