WASHINGTON - John McCain’s campaign manager and chief strategist are gone from their leadership roles, according to several officials with knowledge of the staff changes.
One official said Terry Nelson resigned as campaign manager for the Republican presidential candidate and John Weaver stepped down from his post of chief strategist on Tuesday. But other officials said Nelson was fired.
The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because the shake-up has not been made public.
Two officials said Rick Davis, a longtime aide to McCain, will take over the campaign.
Yet another sign its increasingly becoming a 3 man race : Romney, Rudy, and Fred.

When you push hard for a immigration bill that is vehemently opposed by 78 % of the electorate and then preach to the “bigots” in condescending terms about their inability to comprehend the wonderful merits of the bill…..these are the results you get.
If Sen. McCain chooses to withdraw from the race in the coming months, I hope his supporters will come over to the Romney campaign. As I said in a previous comment, there is much more that unites us than divides us.

Unfortunately, I think most of McCain’s support will go to Fred Thompson. It remains to be seen however.

There are a couple of polls already out there with and without McCain. Roughly 50% goes to Rudy, 25% splitted between Fred and Mitt then the rest to other candidates. If anything, McCain’s implosion helps Rudy more than any other candidate. But yeah, polls are only polls (especially with just two).
