When it rains, it pours...

DES MOINES, Iowa - John McCain's campaign is losing two veteran Republican strategists in Iowa and will report a seven-figure debt for the second quarter in a row, back-to-back blows to a presidential bid still reeling from a major staff shake-up earlier this week.

Ed Failor Jr., said Thursday that he and Karen Slifka plan to notify McCain by letter of their decisions to leave. Both are GOP operatives with deep ties in Iowa, which holds the first-in-the-nation caucuses, and national politics.

"As much as I like Senator McCain, it's not a team I'm willing to stay involved with any longer," Failor said...

In more bad news for McCain, a co-chair of his Florida campaign — state Rep. Bob Allen — was arrested Wednesday...Allen has been charged with solicitation for prostitution, which has a maximum penalty of one year in jail.

And of course Rudy can't be outdone by McCain...

Earlier this week, U.S. Sen. David Vitter, the Southern regional chairman for Rudy Giuliani's presidential campaign, was linked to the so-called D.C. Madam's escort service.

Vitter, a Louisiana Republican, said, "This was a very serious sin in my past for which I am, of course, completely responsible. Several years ago, I asked for and received forgiveness from God and from my wife in confession and marriage counseling."

It was the second blow for Giuliani's campaign. Last month, South Carolina Treasurer Thomas Ravenel, the state chairman for Giuliani's campaign, was indicted on federal cocaine charges.

People criticize Mitt for being "squeaky clean," but that's exactly the type of the leader the GOP and the nation needs.

Even more reason to vote for Mitt!! Have you heard that new song just released by Eric Proffitt on Mitt? It is as good as good gets! It's called "Raise the Bar" and is, catchy professional and TRUE. We SHOULD be voting for "the man of integrity" and as far as I'm concerned, it's not hard to see who that is!

you can listen to it at www.ericproffitt.com

I listened to the song Musicgirl posted. I agree with the lyrics!! It is about time we had some 'squeaky clean' leaders. Truely, wouldn't it be great to have a leader of our country that we could point our kids to and say "one day you could be like him?" instead of "he may be the president but please don't follow in his footsteps?" I heard about a boy who won the 'presidential award' at school during the clinton scandal and this boy was concerned about accepting it because of the 'glare of affairs'. We need to be pround not ashamed of our leaders past and present!!! Great song you got to listen to it. Great website keep it up!!!
