Rudy Giuliani Recommends John McCain:
|
Rudy Giuliani formally dropped his presidential bid and pledged to campaign with McCain wherever he is needed. He touted his former rival as an "American hero" and "the most qualified candidate to be the next commander in chief of the United States."
"He came from way behind to go way ahead, and once again displayed his tenacity, his courage, his ability to focus, his ability to get things done," Giuliani said, referring to McCains surge over the past two months. "I can't imagine a campaign that better demonstrates who the person to be president of the United States should be." "It's disappointing to lose a race for president because you believe you're the best candidate, but I had made it clear before I had to make this decision who I thought the other best candidate was," Giuliani said. |
As Giuliani exits, McCain, Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul will be scrambling to embody the message espoused by the namesake of Wednesday's debate site. For McCain, appealing to conservative voters is a must. Though he won the Florida primary Tuesday on the backs of several powerful voting blocs, exit polls showed conservatives trended more toward Romney. McCain has been under steady attack from prominent conservatives like former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay and faces the scourge of conservative radio talk show hosts deriding his record in the Senate. A new ad set to air Thursday from the group Citizens United attacks McCain's positions on tax cuts, gun control and illegal immigration, calling him "surprisingly liberal." "It's to educate the American people... that John McCain is not a conservative, never has been a conservative. He talks the talk but he's never walked the walk," Citizens United President Dave Bossie told FOX News Wednesday. |
