McCain says campaign is 'fine' but having 'difficult times'

CONCORD, N.H. – Senator John McCain says he takes all responsibility for the troubles his presidential campaign has encountered, but that there are “no excuses” and he feels confident that he can come back.

“I am confident we will be fine, but these are difficult times,” said McCain during an hour long interview on New Hampshire Public Radio this morning. “I can spend the next hour giving you excuses, but there is no excuse. I am confident that I can do what I do best, which are town hall meetings and meeting people face to face.”

McCain is making his first campaign appearance today since four of his top aides left the campaign and his campaign bank account balance diminishes to the range of some of the bottom-tier candidates in the race.
