McCain revamping his campaign finance effort; delaying his official announcement
Tue Apr 03 2007 19:17:51 ET
Lagging behind his opponents in fundraising and under fire for his support for the war in Iraq, Sen. John McCain moved Tuesday to shake up his presidential campaign.
NYT's Adam Nagourney is set to detail the behind-the-scenes action, newsroom sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.
McCain is revamping his campaign finance effort, including adopting big-dollar fundraising techniques pioneered by President Bush, and is delaying his official campaign announcement in order to deliver what his aides said would be a major speech seeking to explain his support for President Bush's policies in Iraq.
The change in course by McCain's campaign comes at a time of "sharp anxiety triggered among McCain's supporters following the release of numbers showing him trailing both his competitors in raising money. These changes also come as polls show continued unease with McCain among Republicans."
