In a widely expected move, Sen. John McCain‘s (R-Ariz.) press department resigned en masse today.
Communications director Brian Jones stepped down, along with deputies Matt David and Danny Diaz. Research director Brian Rogers and South Carolina McCain spokesman Adam Temple are also leaving the campaign.
None of the depatures is surprising, as Jones, Diaz, David and the others were seen as loyalists of campaign manager Terry Nelson, who resigned last week. Sources familiar with the campaign insisted the departures were not acrimonious, pointing out that Jones and David will stay through the week to help ease the transition.
Perhaps him and Lieberman can just start their own party – the party of delusional loyalists to Bush (aka. The DLB).
