Seizing on an opportunity to help fuel the “McCain resurgence” stories, the Arizona senator’s campaign is talking up their newfound financial stability. The organization isn’t the Cadillac McCain had once hoped for, but it looks like at the very least he’s able to make his payments on a more economical model:

“We’ve gotten rid of a bunch of debt, and we’ve had very good cash flow for July and August,” said Rick Davis, who made finances a priority upon taking over as McCain’s national campaign manager. [...]

McCain characterized his receipts for August, a traditionally slow fundraising month, as “OK.” It was more than the campaign spent, he said, but not enough to support major media buys.

It’s a small victory for McCain, a man who once looked like the runaway favorite for the Republican nomination. But at this point he’ll take any good news he can get.

Something to say?
