McCain shakes up campaign staff as Arizona race tightens

It almost seems like a political tradition: the great John McCain campaign-staff shake-up. As the Arizona Republic's Dan Nowicki first reported Sunday, the top two staffers in McCain's Senate re-election effort campaign manager Shiree Verdone and her deputy, Mike Hellon have decamped. The two will work for the Arizona Republican Party, overseeing strategy for a "victory" fundraising effort for statewide candidates, including McCain.
The move comes on the heels of a recent TV ad meant to tout McCain's border security credentials, including a push for a stronger fence along the U.S.-Mexico border. "Complete the danged fence," McCain says in the ad. The only problem: Three years ago, McCain dismissed a fence as the "least effective" means of securing the border. The ad prompted much snickering not just from his GOP primary rival, Rep. J.D. Hayworth, who attacked McCain as a flip-flopper, but even McCain pals like Rep. John Shadegg (R-Ariz.), who openly laughed at the ad last week on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

Another badly run campaign. But he won't have Palin to take the blame this time.

He should have hired the Democrats behind his 2008 primary campaign.

Maybe David Frum is available to advise the patriarch of “go along to get along Republicanism”?
