Counting McCain out?

to predict when John McCain will fold his campaign. Barnett's first guess is Aug. 31.
Nearly three months' (and counting) worth of Fred Thompson "Facts of the Day" here. A sample:
April 19: "Fred Thompson plans to make it an allowable interrogation technique to rip out a terrorist's spine and beat him with it."
May 3: "Fred Thompson's favorite color is the blood of his enemies."
May30: "They say that after a nuclear blast, the only things that will survive will be cockroaches and Fred Thompson… except that Fred Thompson doesn't like cockroaches. So the only thing that will survive will be Fred Thompson."
Slate's John Dickerson has written a stinging critique of Bill Richardson's Sunday appearance on Meet the Press. A taste:
"Richardson's many parries and contradictions might have been the work of a candidate who recognizes the world's complexity, but they weren't. He seemed not too thoughtful, but too little prepared. When he tried to explain the contradictions, like his shift on the immigration bill from supporting it to opposing it, his responses were meandering. Sometimes, he contradicted himself within just a few breaths. After explaining why he changed positions on the assault-weapons ban, he broadly asserted, "I don't change my positions." And on one of his core pitch-points his diplomatic sixth sense for the world and the Middle East in particular he had to admit that on Iraq, the blockbuster of the day, his skill failed him. For a long-shot candidate with limited opportunities to break through as a fresh new face, he missed his chance wildly."
