It appears to be all over for Senator McCain's Presidential ambitions. In a stunning decline for the candidate who was the absolute front-runner not long ago, McCain now appears poised to throw in the towel.
In late June, Sen. John McCain slashed his presidential campaign staff and then finished fifth 
in a straw vote June 30 during at the summer conference of Pennsylvania's Republican State Committee.

The money is running out and new donors are few and far between. Maybe the Senator will wait until fall to withdraw, hoping one of the other frontrunners stumbles; but why bother? It's over.
It was only in March that Fred hadn't even blipped yet: Front-runners Clinton and McCain losing ground fast/All This Is That's dark horses are mired in the back of the pack.
