Maybe John Edwards will float him a loan.

He should quit and use the $2 million for dental work, about what it would take.

He's toast. The illegal immigrant issue finished him off.

I agree, McCain is done.

raised just $11.2 million in the last three months and reported an abysmal $2 million cash on hand

----

Just $11.2 million in three months? Abysmal $2 million cash on hand?

Man...politics sucks today.

I wonder how much all the presidential candidates will raise total for the 08 primaries and election.

$500 million?

Man...I was going to say $1 billion but that that sounded too crazy.

Guess I was way off base.

Wait...that's the parties but I think that's all races and not just presidential.

Oops. Too quick on the copy/paste.

After just three months of fundraising, the candidates for president in 2008 have already raised more than $150 million. No presidential money chase has ever started so quickly. By some predictions, the eventual nominees will need to raise $500 million apiece to compete--a record sum. To find out where all this money is coming from, explore the options to the left.

From the Presidential tab on that link. Maybe it will be close to $2 billion.

McCain was once the darling of the media's eye because he'd thumb his nose at the Republican base. Fine. But don't come around asking to be our nominee.

Wow.

Stand your ground and you're a war hero as long as you're name is Bush.

Stand your ground as McCain and you're a traitor.

Hmmmmmmmmm.

As for the base, McCain was right to snub the 'snake handlers' and religious extremists. I'm glad he's gone though. Bwaaahaaahaaaaa.

John Who?

Be Well.

John McCain't gonna make it. Couldn't happen to a "Nicer" fellow. bwhahahahahahahahahah. Dubya's Lap DOg can't make it bwhahahahahaha

Well it's good to know that a good solid fiscaly responsible republican panics when he has measly 2mil cash on hand. I mean how on earth will he be able to run with that little? Ron Paul had less than that at the begining of the 2nd quarter and you didn't hear him panic in fact on that tiny amount of money he has moved from not registering on the polls to 2% while McCain with 13 mil droped.

Fiscal conservatives unite if you can't run an campaign on less than 500mil we don't want you running the country!

McCain is a great war hero--no doubt.

He is a terrible Republican and a terrible Senator.

The immigration bill may have done him in. But he won't go anywhere. He plans on running in Iowa and NH and the rest.

The primary will be over on February 5th--by an large.

Granted, it does look like McC's toast, but how much of this even matters this early in the game? Any number of things could happen between now and the primaries.

John should just go to Baghdad and peddle his memorabilia in one of the super-safe markets. The grateful Iraqis will surely be glad to buy his crap.

Apparently the American people no longer will.

He should simply BORROW AND SPEND just like Bush and the Republicans have been doing for the last six years. Just max out more credit cards John...it's the REPUBLICAN way to BORROW AND SPEND when times get tough. More Debt John MORE DEBT!!!

The religious extremists, as you choose to call us, would be just one example.

Just to clarify my understanding, in your opinion are there varying degrees of religious Republicans? Some OK, some kinda bad, some extremist? Or are all bad and you're painting with a very wide brush?

Choose to call you?

You either ARE or you AREN'T a religous extremist nutjob. Do you really need it defined? OK, I'll play.

Do you let snakes bite you during your ceremonies?

Do you beat yourself with a branch when you feel you have sinned?

Do you use the term "the bible says...." in your daily life at least once a day?

Do you dislike others based solely on the fact that they do practice the same religion as you?

Do you think the Flintstones is reality (man and dinosaur living together)?

If you answered YES to any of those then you know what I think of you. If not, simmer down and don't worry about it.

Remember, it was you who said "as you choose to call us"....not me.

Of course.

I say the same thing about liberals. There are some real fucking nutcases over there as well.

His best chance was when he was running against Bush and was out flanked. This time around, his position on the Iraqi war was off the wall. He banked that Bush could do it and had no chance. He's throwing good money after bad. The opposing party cannot lose this upcoming Presidency.

I actually do not think he's as good a politican as I once thought.

George Soros is McCain's good friend, where's the money George? I guess George no longer needs him.

The McCain Mutiny has been out of ideas for years, it's about time his bank account caught up with him.

I expect it will be Romney on the GOP ticket. None of the Jesus freaks who make up the majority of the GOP will believe that Giuliani is now a social conservative. And his 3 wives do not give him much of a "moral" standing. His kids won't even speak to him.

It's going to be a Clinton, Romney, Bloomburg election since the middle will be wide open.

I hate to see McCain go out this way. He is an American hero, an ex-POW, and I have a lot of admiration for him as a fellow navy flyer. I'm afraid he has just become a politician and this latest McCain/Kennedy deal with immigration was the kiss of death for him.

Good... the Bullshit Express was an old partisan fool. Serves him right for kow towing to Chimpy in 2004 after the whole illegitimate black baby thing in 2000.

Bye bye John, time to fade into obscurity with the rest of the neocon agenda.

mccain supported torture. good bye mccreep

It ain't over till the fat lady sings.

Or dies.

RIP Beverley.

And you, too, John's Presidential aspirations.

In a way, it's a shame.

There was a time when he could call himself a man.

But he hung in there with the neo-cons just two screw-up too long.

McCain thinks the world should give him a pass because he was a pow, the man is incapable of rational thoought, he stood on the side of the illegal alien. Good ridence to an old fool... from all of Texas Fuck off John.

Don't you mean "from all of Texas Fuck off Dubya"?

Nothing for nothing but Obama raised more than the 3 GOP leading candidates COMBINED.

"Johnus McCainus," a Greek tragedy only now coming to light, tells about a hero who offends the gods by bargaining with their enemies in order to gain a lofty post in The Republic. It's all about treachery to one's ideals, of hubris - the ancient Greek word for chutzpah, and finally the insight that all our feet are made from clay. herm

Mr. McCain may be superannuated, losing it a little, if he did not anticipate the fall-out of his support of illegal immigration.

It is a natural culling process and his poor judgment renders him unsuited to hold the Presidency.

We should not indulge sentimentality, but search for an able leader, not one with the demonstrated shortcomings that this man has manifested.

Let him have a long and happy retirement.
