Ryan Sager has the info. John McCain’s campaign fired about 50 staff, raised $11.2 CoH, and has $2m CoH. That means that they spent about $13m in Q2. Where did that go?
Apparently, the strategy is to focus on New Hampshire and South Carolina. I assume this means that they will pull out of Iowa.
I assume that Fred Thompson will try to pick up much of the staff. This will simplify his staffing problems.
Update: McCain will still compete in Iowa, according to Jonathan Martin.
