Sen. John McCain’s advertising consultants are the latest top officials to jump from his ailing presidential campaign. But some supporters think the departures are for the good, because it is forcing McCain to return to the person-to-person campaign style that fueled his success in the 2000 race. McCain also is hopeful that the change in focus will help him rebound. “ I can do the town-hall meetings, the kind of campaign that wins elections,” he said.

Mr. “Flippy Floppy on all sides of the issue” McCain won’t get anywhere.
I think McCain is pretty much toast crumbs as far as the primaries are concerned.
I see the media is applying the rationale for their reportage of the “Surge” to McCain’s campaign: the worse that things are going, the better they actually are.
Wheee! “Up-is-down”-ism must the new Republican meme. Coming to a failed reactionary ideology near you!
I used to have a small degree of respect for McCain until he started kissing Bush’s ass.
McCain won’t make it.
Put a fork in him. He’s done.
He’s gotta wear bush and his pandering to wingnuts like a dead and stinking chicken tied around his neck.
It might as well be cement overshoes for all the good his pandering will do him in the primaries. When he bet on the religious right, he bet on the wrong horse.
Roots, as in underground,; un-seen; not noticed. Yeah, great move John. Just what you need.
A man of compelling life story and great accomplishment who isn’t going to be president.
If he were a Dem, he would tower over all of the candidates. BTW what experience or accomplishment do the top three Dem presidential candidates have? Still waiting.
Funny . . . in 2000, the man with the experience was AL GORE.
I’m sure you voted for him, right, outlander?
Some things are more important that “experience.”
Like honesty, for instance.
Lots of honest people out there not qualified to be president Capn.
Hillary sure isn’t one of the honest ones, is she?
Honesty. That’s Hillary’s middle name isnt it?
Hillary sucks.
But not as bad as the Republican candidates.
You go to war with the candidate you have, not the candidate you want.
Kansas, I never thought I’d see the day I’d agree with you.Republicans have finally seen what a two-faced four-flusher McCain really is…something I’ve known for years.
Y’all GOPers go vote…

McCain has plenty of name recognition, and experience in the early states. He cannot be counted out. He doesn’t need to blanket the airwaves nearly as much as others do in order to be heard, so the relatively poor fundraising doesn’t have to impact him as much. Now there are signs the surge is working in Iraq. If the war turns around, all the political equations will change for 2008.
