Rudy Giuliani Endorses John McCain
“The responsibility of leadership doesn’t end with a single campaign, it goes on and you continue to fight for it.”-Rudy Giuliani
Hizzoner has officially withdrawn from the 2008 presidential race and has thrown his full support behind his good friend, Sen. John McCain:
“This is a man who is prepared to be president,” Giuliani said of his “old friend.”Giuliani said McCain gives the Republican Party the best chance to hold onto the presidency.
“I am very proud to endorse my friend and fellow Republican — a hero — John McCain,” Giuliani said at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley California, two hours before the Republican presidential candidates were to face each other in their final debate before the Super Tuesday contests next week.
Giuliani described McCain as “the other best candidate.”
“I made it clear before I had to make this decision [to drop out] that had I not run, I’d be supporting John McCain,” Giuliani told reporters on a flight to Burbank, California, for the debate.
With the California debate only about an hour from commencing, rumors are swirling of another big endorsement (no pun intended):
Meanwhile, two Republican sources told CNN that California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is in discussions about endorsing McCain.
One of the sources said, “you can safely describe the conversations as progressing and productive.” The second source described the endorsement as “more than expected” and said the conversations were aimed at arranging a Thursday announcement.

#1 Billy - are you from California? If you were, like I am, you would know that conservatives in California are extremely unhappy with Arnold, who ran as a conservative and then has governed as a liberal.
Count me - Not impressed.
