McCain campaign nearly broke

In an interview on New Hampshire Public Radio today John McCain took responsibility for his campaign's problems. "We've made mistakes," he said.

The AP reports:

The campaign raised $25 million in the first half of the year,

but blew through nearly all of it during the same period. By

Sunday, the campaign will report to the Federal Election Commission

that it has $2 million cash on hand but more than $1 million in

outstanding debt, according to officials. They say McCain could end

up having as little as a couple hundred thousand dollars to spend

as he tries to revitalize his campaign.
