I also heard McCain has cut off all communications with Michael Murphy who was his chief campaign strategist in 2000. That temper of McCain is showing.
They're all jumping from the ship...!

Scott McLellan has also endorsed Obama.
Nothing has shocked me more than the Ken "Cakewalk" Adelman endorsement, but this is pretty surprising.
If Whottt comes out and endorses Obama I won't even bother watching on election night....
Blame Game begins in the GOP
With despair rising even among many of John McCain’s own advisers, influential Republicans inside and outside his campaign are engaged in an intense round of blame-casting and rear-covering — much of it virtually conceding that an Election Day rout is likely.
A McCain interview published Thursday in The Washington Times sparked the latest and most nasty round of finger-pointing, with senior GOP hands close to President Bush and top congressional aides denouncing the candidate for what they said was an unfocused message and poorly executed campaign.
McCain told the Times that the administration “let things get completely out of hand” through eight years of bad decisions about Iraq, global warming, and big spending.
The candidate’s strategists in recent days have become increasingly vocal in interviews and conference calls about what they call unfair news media coverage and Barack Obama’s wide financial advantage — both complaints laying down a post-election storyline for why their own efforts proved ineffectual.
These public comments offer a whiff of an increasingly acrid behind-the-scenes GOP meltdown — a blame game played out through not-for-attribution comments to reporters that operatives know will find their way into circulation.
Top Republican officials have let it be known they are distressed about McCain’s organization. Coordination between the McCain campaign and Republican National Committee, always uneven, is now nearly dysfunctional, with little high-level contact and intelligence-sharing between the two.
“There is no communication,” lamented one top Republican. “It drives you crazy.
At his Northern Virginia headquarters, some McCain aides are already speaking of the campaign in the past tense. Morale, even among some of the heartiest and most loyal staffers, has plummeted. And many past and current McCain advisers are warring with each other over who led the candidate astray.
One well-connected Republican in the private sector was shocked to get calls and resumes in the past few days from what he said were senior McCain aides — a breach of custom for even the worst-off campaigns.
“It’s not an extraordinarily happy place to be right now,” said one senior McCain aide. “I’m not gonna lie. It’s just unfortunate.
IT ain't over by a long shot in my eyes but things are not looking good for Palin/McCain.
at this point I'm kinda hoping Obama will win just so we can actually lay of the 2800-4000 employees like we've been planning on since Obama got so far ahead in the polls. Its going to be funny because out of 5 possible locations, 2 of them are in liberal/swing states and they are the ones that'll most likely be closed.
lol...idiots voting for a $42 tax cut are going to end up getting a 100% income cut.
That would not be a sign of a landslide, but rather the final sign of the Apocolypse. It would be the last sound you heard before the 4 horsemen beat down your door and f*** you up.
(crash)
ack! thud! (death weeze)

Jesus Christ, Im glad somebody agrees with me outside of ST. This guy serves under Reagan and leaves the McCain ticket for the exact reasons I ahve stated hundreds of times. Palin disqualifies voting for McCain if you have any sense of moral conscience, as much as it pains me to give the government to the Dems.In that letter, he said that chief among the reasons for his decision "is the choice of Sarah Palin at a time of deep national crisis."
God damn you, McCain. IMO, he would have won this election if he had chosen Lieberman. He would have had my vote instantly.
Its HuffPo, so I'll stew for a bit until this is legitimized.
You can read Cakewalk Adelman's reasoning in the meantime:
Second is judgment. The most important decision John McCain made in his long campaign was deciding on a running mate.
That decision showed appalling lack of judgment. Not only is Sarah Palin not close to being acceptable in high office—I would not have hired her for even a mid-level post in the arms-control agency. But that selection contradicted McCain’s main two, and best two, themes for his campaign—Country First, and experience counts. Neither can he credibly claim, post-Palin pick.

But, but...Sarah is firing up the Republican conservative base....is she not?
Now that the degregulated/free market bull has been fatally exposed as money-grubbing smoke-and-mirrors, they're running as fast as they can from it (well, as soon as they can get they're money out of it), while of course absolving themselves of all responsibility.
Bull like "it's good in theory, but the guys practicing it ed up", which is EXACTLY how western Communists explained the fall of the Communist Russia and its empire.
Oh yeah, she is
^^RACK THAT!!Oh yeah, she is
congratulations! your employers are wimps. and you work UNDER them.
WowI see how much you really care with that statement. "Let me punish you people because your political positions don't match up with mine."
No remorse for destroying families?
I do care...the more tax monies I save for the company the better MY economy is.Wow
No remorse for destroying families?
No remorse at all...people need to realize the ramifications of their votes. Not just what it means for them.
He's a compassionate conservative.
i think you're lying. whats the name of this company? do you mind if we track your honesty?
Proof of the "more for me" and "less for them" at ude.
Once I leave the company I'll let you know.
He's pretending his company thought the recession would magically end if McCain became president.
Great believers in the paranormal, that lot.
Just yours? I mean part of the American spirit is helping out our fellow citizens. Its not like these people are asking for a handout, they are working. I just see what's really important to you and others like you. You'll fly the flag of patriotism and yell about being un-American and then will cut 2000-4000 jobs without remorse, for money.
I understand there are tough financial decisions to be made, but your at ude on here comes across as not giving a because those people live in states that might not vote for your candidate. I can't think of anything less American.
