In early July, John McCain announced that he only raised about 11 million dollars in the second quarter for his President
ial campaign. This compares to the unimpressive 13 million he raised during the first quarter. Ever since then, he has gown downhill in the polls, and taken not as seriously. McCain's position on immigration, and his total support behind President Bush's Iraq War policy, has also damaged his campaign. The question now is, will he recover and is he actually better off?

dent against the party's establishment candidate, then-Texas Governor George W. Bush. He ran as the moderate, against the Washington landscape, and with a message that he was a "straight talker", who would always tell you what he felt. McCain won an impressive victory in New Hampshire before going down to Bush within the following weeks. His message really did get across to voters, and he probably would have had an easier ride to victory than Bush had in 2000, in the general election. The media loved McCain, and he was seen as a politician who you could actually trust. Today, that's not the case.

momentum Now, he is again an underdog. It worked for him in 2000, will it work in 2008? Well, we don't know for sure. He spent seven years trying to become the true Republican established candidate for President. It looked like it was working, as he was the front-runner, but he's now running in either third or fourth place in most polls, behind Rudy Giuliani, Fred Thompson, and even Mitt Romney occasionally. Having things change for McCain has made him go back to the straight talking, down to earth candidate that he was in 2000. This is what people like to see in the people that serve them. The only question is, there are more candidates this time around, and is it to late for McCain to make a run? That's a question only the Republican primary voters can answer.

Rudy would be the best GOP choice. He's moderate and is the only GOP candidate that could win. I love McCain but Rudy has a better chance.
More Lies.
He said NY Assemblyman, Greg Ball, attended an "anti-immigrant" rally in Brewster.
