With the clock running out on the 2008 presidential race and John McCain sinking like a stone, the excuses for why his campaign has come a cropper are flying fast and furious.
I’ve been collecting them over at Kiko’s House in a daily feature titled “McCain-Palin Trainwreck Excuse du Jour.” Here are synopses and links to the first seven entries:
Sarah Palin can’t be controlled.
Leading Republicans are turning on him.
Obama is getting off easy because he’s black.
His campaign advisers are a disaster.
He’s not a true conservative.
The GOP’s class warfare has cost him dearly.
And my favorite:
He’s just not comfortable playing the bad guy.
