McCain campaign ends - FLASH

Despite a warm reception from delegates in St. Paul, Sen. John McCain announced the end of his presidential campaign on Friday. Aides pointed out to an ashen-faced McCain early this morning that he forget to wear his American flag lapel pin during last night's speech. While he was standing in front of a video of a huge American flag, apparently this did nothing to quell conservative outrage.

"Yeah, I know he was standing in front of a big flag and he was a POW and tortured for years, but since he wasn't wearing his lapel pin, that just ruined it for me. I'm voting for that Muslim guy now." said one man in Grand Island, Nebraska, who cried while watching the speech last night.
