WASHINGTON - Republican John McCain struggled to keep his deeply troubled campaign afloat Monday, laying off dozens of staffers after lackluster fundraising and excessive spending left him with just $2 million for his second presidential bid.......
Officials with knowledge of the reorganization said more than 50 staffers, and perhaps as many as 80 to 100, in every department of the campaign were being let go, and senior aides will be subject to pay cuts. These officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the campaign would not publicly discuss specifics.......
The financial difficulties have fueled speculation that McCain would drop out of the race but he has dismissed that notion, and his aides insisted on Monday that he was in no way abandoning or suspending his campaign. They argued that McCain's character, experience and leadership would carry him to the nomination when voters tune into the race.
hahahahaha.....
The gravy train ride is over for the ole BC04 crowd....
McCain has already increased the nation’s joblessness, and he’s not even President.
We, here at FreeRepublic have been so supportive of him.
< /thick sarcasm >
He should try raising money by targeting illegals. A dollar from each is an easy $20 Million. Because legal citizens sure won’t give him a dime (at least those in their right mind!)
Dum Da Dum Dum.
I wonder if McCain rolls little steel balls around in his one good hand?
You realize, of course, that this just about forecloses chances that any run for the Presidency as an independent is dead as well.
Quick, find a dark cloud, because there is one heckuva silver lining that just turned up.
Now if we can just get Bloomberg to run....
12-20 million undocumented Americans and this fellah can’t find cheap help?
The people who think McCain will survive are smoking dope. Naturally, everyone is very surprised at this turn of events, especially since he did such a sterling job with the amnesty bill. (Do I really need the Sarc?)
Too bad. So sad. Buh bye.
LOL!!! I saw that movie this past weekend.
Dummy.
