Typical Republican

So John McCain can't raise enough moulah to be competitive. And what does he do in response to his lack of support and charisma? That's right--he downsizes his campaign. Next thing you know he'll be outsourcing his canvassing calls to India.

The campaign staff and leadership is taking full blame for this, but at the same time so many of their workers (approximately 80-100) will be axed. In fact, they aren't even denying this is a cataclysmic oversight on their part:

Nelson said the campaign made "incorrect assumptions" about its fundraising ability.

And here's another winner...

"At one point, we believed that we would raise over $100 million during this calendar year, and we constructed a campaign that was based on that assumption," Nelson said. That, he said, proved to be wrong.

A HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS??!?!? Were they all smoking crack when that came up? Seriously...were they sitting around getting wasted off their asses on crack and alcohol when that figure was thrown out. I've made more astute bowel movements than that.

This article gets the real problem, though, which is:

Six months before primary voting begins, McCain is struggling for some semblance of momentum.

No shit, Sherlock. Maybe (and this is just a "hypothetical") people think little of his "Straight Talk Express" ever since he caved in and sat on GWB's lap during the Iraq debates or even a few months back when he touted Iraq's security. Maybe hoes is tired of hearing his whacked out crap just to have it flounder when it comes to actually getting stuff done.
