Least Surprising News of the Day

John McCain is behind in his fundraising goals.

GRAFTON CO., NH -- Sen. John McCain said his presidential campaign would not meet its fundraising goals this quarter, and his campaign advisers acknowledged that ex-MA Gov. Mitt Romney may wind up raising more.

"We're going to pay a price for it because we got a late start," McCain told reporters in New Hampshire. "We're not going to meet the goals we had." He later said he did not know whether Romney would outpace him, but his advisers did not downplay that possibility. They also did not rule out finishing first.

Don Surber points out, though, that McCain actually started before other candidates who have met their goals.

This isn't about starting late, it's about being unpopular. I think we, and the McCain campaign, are seeing evidence of just how hard it's going to be for the Arizona Senator to win over Republican voters.
