WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Phil Gramm, an economic adviser to Republican presidential hopeful John McCain, resigned from his campaign on Friday in the fallout over his comment that the United States had become a "nation of whiners."

Gramm, a former Texas senator, said in a statement issued by the McCain campaign that Democratic attacks on him had become a distraction to Arizona Sen. McCain, who will face Democrat Barack Obama in the November 4 election.
