Campaign Restricts McCain's Cellphone Use

The campaign thinks Johnny McCain has been a very bad candidate. So they're clamping down on the old boy with some extra disciplinary measures. Phone privileges cut, spending time with friends cut.

NY Times: Mr. Schmidt has sought to cut down on Mr. McCain’s use of his cellphone and limit the people who have regular access to Mr. McCain in an effort to keep him more focused, advisers said.

Senator John McCain is so quick to pick up his gold-colored cellphone to solicit advice — from senators, campaign consultants, even the stray former deputy press secretary — that aides, concerned about his tendency to adopt the last opinion he has heard, have tried to cut back on the time he has to make calls.

He's only running for President of the United States. But they're letting him know who's boss and making him mind.
