Before the election, it’s David Axelrod and the Obama campaign who are accusing McCain of acting "erratic."

After the election, Republicans are freed to say it, too.

Writes Karl Rove in the new Newsweek, explaining the loss: "But in a year when all currents were running against Republicans and our campaign was lackluster and erratic, Barack Obama received only 3.1 points more than Al Gore in 2000 and only 4.6 points more than John Kerry in 2004."
