Phil "Psychotic Fireman" Singer blogs that the rest of the GOP shouldn't blame the McCain campaign for the state of the race:

So while it's frustrating to lose and tempting to point fingers (I am an expert loser so heed my words), I urge my GOP brothers and sisters to pause before they do so and really think about whether they could have done better. The fact is that the working on a presidential campaign is draining beyond belief and takes a huge personal toll - Considering the climate, GOP insiders should be thanking the McCain team for sticking with it, not slamming them. They did what they could but it's a different kind of year.

What's the opposite of schadenfreude?
