Bowing to Bush has destroyed McCain's credibility and is sinking his campaign.

Republican John McCain struggled to keep his deeply troubled campaign afloat Monday, laying off dozens of staffers after lackluster fundraising and excessive spending left him with just $2 million for his second presidential bid.

Considered the GOP front-runner just six months ago, the Arizona senator trails his top rivals in money and polls. McCain's fortunes soured this year as he embraced President Bush's troop increase for the Iraq war, a conflict a majority of Republicans support, and a bipartisan immigration bill that has divided the GOP. He also has fought to win over skeptical conservatives who make up the core of the party.

There is just no way that Americans are going to vote a Republican to lead this country in 2008. However this should serve as a lesson to the rest of the Republican candidates who would like the opportunity to lose in the general election that supporting the war, denying our torture of detainees, and completely reversing your opinion on abortion and the separation of church and state, will reduce a potential candidate to a mere trivia question on Jeopardy.

So good riddance John McCain, and isn't it a shame that you could not have exited with your integrity intact? Look for his upcoming book. "How to go from respected war hero, to morally bankrupt warmonger in twelve easy lessons".
