Bob McDonnell endorses McCain

Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell said Tuesday he is “proud” to support McCain, calling him “a leader of character, courage and principle.”

“Over the last year, the American people have taken a firm stand for smaller government and new pro-growth policies to create the jobs we so desperately need,” McDonnell said in a statement. “These are the principles that Senator McCain fights for every day, and we need him now more than ever in the United States Senate.”
