In the words of Porky Pig: Th-th-th-that’s all folks!
Posted on June 25th, 2007 at 11:27 pm by Stephen Fountain, EditorIt seems unimaginable, but the fortunes of Senator McCain appear to be going out with a fizzle. The word on the street is that his campaign won’t even survive the fall.
Dan Schnur, McCain’s communications director during the 2000 presidential campaign, said it was “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.”
A poll by Rasmussen Reports last week showed McCain lying joint third with Mitt Romney, the Mormon former governor of Massachussetts, with the support of just 10% of Republican voters. This compared with 28% for Fred Thompson, the former Tennessee senator, and 27% for Rudy Giuliani, New York’s mayor at the time of the September 11 terrorist attacks. Another poll in Iowa, a crucial early voting state, put McCain in fifth place behind Mike Hucka-bee, the former governor of Arkansas, with only 6%.
Update: McCain says I’ve been smokin’ something a little more than is legal. Come on senator, spit it out!

And to think, this all started because we dropped him to fourth in the power rankings!
Well, there go our chances of ever landing a McCain interview!!
McCain is on the wrong side of the illegal immigration issue. What part of “Enforce the laws already on the books” don’t you get Senator?
.. and actually, he IS dead. McCain just doesn’t know it yet.
In most states, REPUBLICANS will be voting in the primaries, not pollsters and media mavens.
Which is why, shockingly, Romney will win.
Think it’s far fetched? Who exactly was Mr. Maverick, the unstoppable force, not so very long ago? Look to see DA Jubilation T. Cornpone join him in the dustbin of history soon.
