Schwarzenegger Endorses John McCain
LOS ANGELES (AP) - California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger endorsed Sen. John McCain in the Republican presidential race on Thursday, praising him as an extraordinary leader who can reach across the political aisle to get things done.
McCain predicted a “flood of endorsements across this country from both liberals and conservatives” would soon come his way as he tries to take command of the nominating fight after a bruising series of early primaries and caucuses.
“I won a Republican-only primary in the state of Florida but I also have been able to gain the support of independents, as well, which is vital to winning a national election,” he said.
McCain and his principal remaining rival, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, square off in 21 primaries and caucuses next week with more than 1,000 delegates at stake.
At a news conference, Schwarzenegger said McCain has the national security credentials to do the job, and is a “crusader against wasteful spending.”
Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani also attended the event, one day after he dropped out of the race and threw his support behind his longtime friend.
Right wing heads are exploding all across this great land and I am loving every minute.
