McCain Out?
Posted on | June 25, 2007
The money just isn’t rolling in for Sen. John McCain’s presidential ambitions, and he may pull out of the race soon, suggests a UK paper:
McCain’s staff vigorously denied the allegation.
“He’s a battler, so I’d expect him to carry on, but everyone is waiting to see what his new fundraising totals are,” Arizona Republican Party Chairman Randy Pullen told the Sunday Times‘ Sarah Baxter. “That’s pretty critical. If he doesn’t have the money, he won’t be able to run.”
Pullen also delivered another devastating blow, saying he believed that McCain could lose his home state of Arizona.
“It looks to me like Arizona will be in play,” Pullen said. “The immigration issue is clearly hurting him with the base of the party.”
The communications director of McCain’s 2000 campaign told Baxter it’s “possible” that he could drop out: “There are all sorts of challenges McCain is facing, from fundraising to Fred Thompson and the Iraq war, but the biggest single boulder in his path is the immigration issue.”
Couldn’t happen to a more willful idiot.
