Mark McKinnon steps down from John McCain campaign

Mark McKinnon helped win two elections for George W. Bush, but he wasn't interested in battling with Barack Obama.

McKinnon had vowed that if Obama was the Democratic nominee he would step down. It appears he's ready to do just that.

As noted by The Times' Maeve Reston, McKinnon and his lucky black hat (that's not the lucky one in the picture) have been a fixture in the former POW's comeback campaign and part of the five-man strategy team including Rick Davis, Mark Salter, Charlie Black and Steve Schmidt.

But he's sticking by his vow that if the Democratic candidate was Obama, he would step off the McCain ad team because Obama's election "would send a great message to the country and the world."

This move could have quite an impact on the election.
