Another day another nail.



Stole that line from Chicago Native. ;-)

From AP:

DES MOINES, Iowa - John McCain's campaign is losing two veteran Republican strategists in Iowa and will report a seven-figure debt for the second quarter in a row, back-to-back blows to a presidential bid still reeling from a major staff shake-up earlier this week.

Ed Failor Jr., said Thursday that he and Karen Slifka plan to notify McCain by letter of their decisions to leave. Both are GOP operatives with deep ties in Iowa, which holds the first-in-the-nation caucuses, and national politics.

"As much as I like Senator McCain, it's not a team I'm willing to stay involved with any longer," Failor said.

The campaign also will show about $1 million in debts when it reports its second-quarter finances this weekend, according to a Republican familiar with the campaign's fundraising. The figure is smaller than the $1.8 million in the red that the campaign reported after the first three months of the year. McCain aides would not comment on the campaign's debt.

Looks like McCain needs free workers in Iowa. Iowa is the first State to vote and McCain has no employees to voice his campaign. Who's going to pay that bill he left behind. Maybe McCain can bring some of his Iraq friends from the Market Place to run his campaign in Iowa. Libby needs a job and soon so will Harriet Miers. Both could run the McCain campaign look their hasn't been a Presidential candidate who has had a Convicted Felon and a one time nominee for the Supreme Court who broke the law to save the President in his criminal acts. It's just a thought and suggestion.

I figured Libby would get a job on K Street.
