McCain's Media Team Quits - Not getting paid
WASHINGTON -- Sen. John McCain's media team has resigned, an indication that a campaign shake-up two weeks ago is continuing to backfire and further imperil the Arizona Republican's presidential candidacy.

Political ad-makers Russ Schriefer and Stuart Stevens, veterans of President Bush's 2000 and 2004 campaigns, on Monday emailed the new campaign manager -- lobbyist and longtime McCain adviser Rick Davis -- to say that they were quitting. The two men told friends they had considered leaving for days, as they hadn't been paid and the campaign's financial straits raised questions of when and how much they would be.

1. And why the hell else would you work for McCain if not for $$$$?

It is unimaginable that anyone could truly admire his pandering ass.

4. He's out of there. I tell you, I don't know if that's a good thing...
... should favor Giuliani, who's going to pick up moderate votes. I think Rudy is the only Republican candidate with a shot.

10. Yeah, he sold out so guys like this would work for him. Now they abandon him
So much for all the support the Bush camp was giving his candidacy.
