This morning a New York Time’s article is reporting that presidential candidate John McCain has made a major shake-up to his campaign’s power structure. Since last July the campaign was being run by 11 regional managers. This morning Steve Schmidt, who (surprise) is a close confidant of Karl (Swift Boat) Rove is in charge. I am not surprised by the move…something just made me feel things were not going in the right direction for John McCain. Apparently, I wasn’t the only one thinking this way…Check out these quotes from the NYT article…

Mr. Schmidt went to him (John McCain) about 10 days ago and warned him that he was in danger of losing the presidential election unless he revamped his campaign operation, two officials close to the campaign said.

And this…

Greg Jenkins…was hired by Mr. Schmidt last week after a series of what Mr. McCain’s advisers acknowledged were poorly executed campaign events.

How about this…

When he (Steve Schmidt) worked for Mr. Bush his nickname in the campaign was “The Bullet”, a reference to the shape of his shaved head (I know this has no bearing on the campaign, but I just threw it in because I thought it was funny).

Don’t you feel this way too…?

The shift comes after what even Mr McCain’s aides acknowledge has been a squandered period of time since he claimed the nomination in February.

 Disclosure: I am an Obama supporter…but still, I honestly think John McCain looks tired and it is showing.
