John McCain's presidential campaign appears to be melting down. In recent weeks he's laid off workers, others have quit, he's shut down campaign offices and doesn't have enough money to keep his campaign afloat.
While his staff's quitting is being caused by conflict inside the campaign as well as the money problems, McCain's problems are due in part to his own McCain-Feingold laws which place strict limits on campaign financing, limits what can be donated to campaigns, and restricts candidate spending if they accept federal matching funds.
I'm not saying that his law is good or bad--I'm neutral on that point--but the irony of this is decidedly delicious. We have a politician being screwed by his own law.
Am I the only one enjoying this situation?
