McCain Fires Campaign Staff

This certainly can't be a good sign for the Senator. The AP reports that John McCain "is undergoing a significant reorganization," letting go "50 staffers or more." Our crack research team put together the numbers into this handy graphic:

Watch the McCain campaign crumble by the month:
July: TBD (50+)
June: Former Rockingham County Co-Chairman Rep. D.J. Bettencourt, Former McCain South Carolina Aiken County Chairman-David Nix, Former Senior Fundraiser- John Dowd, (Pending) Senior Advisor-Mark McKinnon, (Former-ish) National Co-Chair Georgette Mosbacher
May: Former National Director of his “Americans of Faith” Coalition- Marlene Elwell, Former Deputy National Director of McCain’s “Americans of Faith” Coalition- Judy Haynes
April: Former California State Director-Craig Goldman, Former Finance Director-Carla Eudy
March: (Non)Endorsee Alfonse D'Amato

That leaves just the Senator, the bus driver and a guy who tells the Senator how the Senator feels about issues, right?

Now all we're looking at is Giuliani and Romney. Can you really call either of those serious candidates?

I think Senator McCain shot himself in the foot the moment he sided with Bush and his stance on the war in Iraq. He's been limping along ever since, and I fully expect he will officially withdraw shortly from his bid for the presidency. It must be just a little lonely on that bus these days.
