Bush backs McCain
Jeb, not George W.
In another sign that the GOP establishment is lining up with John McCain and wants the primary battles to end, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush today signed on with McCain.
Here’s Jeb Bush’s statement, which came in the wake of the president’s certification of McCain as a “true conservative”:
“John McCain is a patriot and devoted conservative leader. Like no other candidate in the field, John McCain has made tremendous sacrifices for this nation. He is beholden to no interest other than that of the public good. He is determined and steadfast in his commitment to reducing the burden of high taxes, restoring the people’s trust in their government, and winning the war against radical Islamic extremists. It is with pride that I announce my endorsement of John McCain for president.”
