Joining the McCain Death Watch

John McCain won't be the first to leave the race for the Presidency, but its beginning to appear as though he will be the first big name to drop out. For all practical purposes, his campaign is over. I'm reminded once again of what I said after his trip to a Baghdad market:

You know, I almost wish he would take that stroll. Watching a guy I once admired so completely destroy his credibility is as painful as watching a guy like [Evander] Holyfield keep getting into the ring long past the point that he has what it takes to be a competitive boxer. Please stop!


It looks like that time is finally coming. On the other hand, maybe he'll take the Holyfield metaphor even further and keep on despite everybody around him walking away. I hope not.
