Is McCain going to make it to the early primaries? It seems he's got only $2 million on hand and may drop as many as 100 staffers, though they're suggesting the number will only be a bit over 50.

Considering that bad news is itself a major blow that will make money even harder to raise, is this Phil Gramm '96 redux? Only where the candidate can't raise any money?

Early campaign time is full of premature and retrospectively silly post-mortems. But you have to wonder in this case.
