We'll see just how bad the fundraising situation is at 2:00. But, for now, we have a dispatch from the AP reporting a major McCain campaign downsizing:
John McCain's campaign, trailing top Republican rivals in money and polls, is undergoing a significant reorganization with staff cuts in every department, officials with knowledge of the shake-up said Monday.
Some 50 staffers are being let go, and senior aides will be subject to pay cuts as the Arizona senator's campaign bows to the reality of six months of subpar fundraising, these officials said.
If the campaign were keeping pace with last quarter's fundraising, would we be seeing this? Chances are (and this is a true guess) the number's under $10 million. Anyone want to put money on under $8 million?
