Can McCain remain competitive if his fund-raising problems continues?

If money is the mother's milk of politics, then Senator John McCain seems intent on going on a hunger strike. Barack Obama has proved to be the most effective fund-raiser in the history of American politics, at a time when McCain seems to be doing all he can to make sure that he cannot raise enough in campaign contributions to stay competitive. If Senator McCain fails in his bid for the presidency, more than any other candidate in recent memory he will well and truly have been hoist on his own petard. His McCain-Feingold law deprives him of the resources he might raise from well-heeled individual donors -- including his remarkably wealthy wife, Cindy, who is as incapable today as Theresa Heinz Kerry had been four years ago of financially supporting her candidate husband. However, it's not too late for Senator McCain to recognize what he's done to himself, as well as how he can turn this around. Great link: Historians think that based on previous elections, Barack Obama will trounce John McCain. When you look at factors like winning the White House three times in a row, the state of the economy, the popularity of the incumbent President, and other factors, all signs point to a Democratic landslide. Politico has the story.

1. I certainly hope not. Let's CHANGE America!!
2. no, Obama will slaughter him this fall, take a look for yourself http://www.electoral-vote.com/
3. McCain doesn't stand a chance in hell. Get used to it you racist Republicans. Your racism is despicable. The whole world is watching this presidential race with great interest.
4. Yeah. Especially if he does snatch and grabs from people who support rape, like his Texas buddy who raised $300,000.
5. I hope America is smart enough to vote on honesty and integrity, something BHO does not have. I think history will find that BHO'S fund raising was the most controversial and illegal in history. Like the lady in London that found her bank account emptied and put into BHO'S Presidential fund. His to fund raiser just gt 20 years in prison, BHO sheeeeple equate McCain to 4 more years of BUSH guilt by association. but Deni Hussein is influenced by Rev. Wright, terrorist Bill Ayers rezko his wife .His jailhouse jive will fail him. There is no place for a MARXIST President in this country. The more we know about BHO , The more there is to distrust.
6. Senator McCain won't even come close to rasing enough money to beat Senator Obama. Senator Obama has broken mutiple fund-rasing records and at this point no one can beat him.
7. Definitely not. He's already flailing.
8. No. but it doesn't matter because he himself knows that NO REPUBLICANS can win this election because of Bush/Cheney policies in the past 8 years.
