Troy Record (NY): Local GOP Support Swells For McCain

By Ryan Fitzpatrick, Troy Record
February 5, 2008

ALBANY - National security and the war on terrorism took center stage Monday afternoon as state Republican leaders gathered at the Crowne Plaza hotel to rally support for presidential candidate Sen. John McCain.

As New Yorkers head to the polls today, McCain, who campaigned in New Jersey Monday, has all but guaranteed his victory in the Empire State Republican presidential primary, according to recent polls. In light of McCain’s more than 30-point lead over second-place contender former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, New York Republicans urged their constituents to get out and vote to secure a landslide victory for the Arizona senator.

“I want someone who can win. And John McCain will win, and John McCain will be the next president,” said former U.S. Sen. Alfonse D’Amato. “There’s no question John McCain will carry New York, but let’s carry it with record-breaking numbers.”

According to a Quinnipiac University poll released Monday, McCain leads in New York with the support of 54 percent versus 22 percent for Romney. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee is in a distant third place with 9 percent. The poll, which surveyed 370 likely Republican voters, has a margin of error of 5.1 percent.

Nationally, McCain leads but by a slightly smaller margin of 45 percent versus Romney’s 25 percent, according to a Gallup Poll conducted over the weekend. Huckabee has 17 percent in that survey.

McCain’s military service during Vietnam and his current position in support of the war in Iraq were main themes of Monday’s rally. Supporters touted McCain’s national security credentials and his support of a troop surge in Iraq despite the measure’s initially unpopular reception.

“The people of this country and this state need someone who has the courage of his convictions,” said state Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno. “You all know his war record. There is no one who is more dedicated. There is no one more conscientious ... than Sen. John McCain.”

Waterford Mayor Bert Mahoney and McCain both served aboard the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Oriskany in 1967 after McCain volunteered to transfer to the ship’s VA-163 squadron, also called “The Saints.” Mahoney, who served as an aviation electrician in the squadron, said he attended the rally to lend his support to a fellow veteran and someone he believes has the best credentials to lead the nation as commander in chief.

“His service for our country, his service in the House of Representatives, his service in the Senate. ... I think he’s got the courage, the character, the experience,” said Mahoney. “There’s nobody that can hold a candle to him, that has the experience we need.”

McCain’s aircraft was shot down over Hanoi and taken prisoner while on a bombing mission for the Oriskany. That ordeal and his military service were noted by supporters as evidence of his commitment. Rensselaer County Republican Chairman Jack Casey said how he recalled watching television when he was younger and seeing McCain return home after being released from a POW camp.

“And now he’s decided to pick up the standard and run for president of the United States,” said Casey. “This guy is the real deal.”

Sam Brownback is a solid pro-life, anti-gay conservative and solid conservatives like him and Tom Coburn are supporting Senator McCain. This proves that he’s not a liberal in itself. Bob Dole supports him, too.

All of the Senators are supporting their good buddy, John McCain. Not a particularly good sales pitch in my view, particularly given the woeful performance of this particular Congress.

If all these people are Rinos you are but a voice in the wind.
People like you wiolol have no voice If the Clintons take over.
McCain 2008”

You need to calm down and re-read my post. What I said was that McCain has some excellent conservatives supporting him. Yes, he has some RINOs also, but that is to be expected. But, unmistakably, he has some rock solid conservative support.

You should be more careful. Your misdirected ire at my post makes the rest of think that McCain and his supporters are not emotionally stable and have short tempers.....

I heard it on ABC radio this morning at 7:00am. I have not heard it repeated, so it may be a mistake.

“Fred Thompson as also endorsed John McCain.”

When did he do that? Have a link?

Tom Tancredo has endorsed Romney. Roy Beck and NumbersUSA have rated Romney Excellent.

I suggest you check out Romney more closely.

As an immigration activist who drove four days each in SC and FL dogging the McCain campaign protesting at his events, I know a little something about the immigration issue and where the candidates stand. Romney is my choice after Fred Thompson dropped out. Fred had the best and most detailed immigration and border security plan. It was written by Kris Kobach, a well-known immigration expert respected throughout the immigration community, especially for his work in Hazelton. Kris has moved over to the Romney campaign. That should tell you something.

There were alot of folks that were POW’s, VERY few of ‘em brag about it, most of ‘em would prefer to never ever even talk about it.

My Uncle Steve was never a POW, but he was an Army Ranger in ‘Nam and served three tours, wounded in two of ‘em. He rarely ever talked about what he did, and he honored all of the POW’s, not just one.

Instead of bosting about his POW status, let’s talk about McCain’s accomplishments since then....what qualifies this man to the support of the conservative base of the Republican Party? What recent fact can we review to tell us how effective of an conservative will McCain be?

This is getting to be oddly similar to McCain’s close personal friend - Vietnam Veteran John F’n Kerry presidential campaign isn’t it?. Should we now and forever say former Vietnam Veteran and POW John Straight Talk” McCain at all times too? Is McCain gonna speak at the 2008 Republican convention by opening up with “I’m John McCain and I’m reporting to duty” just like his good buddy did did at the Dim Convention?
