With dwindling finances and many of his staff resigning I’m beginning to wonder how much longer John McCain will stay in the presidential race.

This Wall Street Journal report [Subscription may be required.] says McCain’s media team has quit.

Sen. John McCain’s well-known media team has resigned, an indication that his campaign shake-up is continuing to backfire and imperiling 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.

Since Mr. McCain accepted the resignations of former campaign manager Terry Nelson and chief strategist John Weaver two weeks ago, and put Mr. Davis in charge, more than a dozen senior staffers have left from the headquarters in northern Virginia as well as state offices in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina — all states with early nominating contests. Several fundraisers have cut their ties to the campaign, which reported a debt at the end of the second quarter.

Now the loss of the Schriefer-Stuart media team is considered a new blow, Republicans strategists say. The McCain campaign had long planned to begin running ads this fall in early-contest states; those plans are at risk given Mr. McCain’s debt, compounded now by the difficulty of getting donors to invest in a troubled campaign.

A blind man can see this campaign is in deep trouble and is going nowhere. Instead of incurring more debt the Senator should call off his quest for president as no one seems to be supporting him.
