McCain Spends Time in SC

Third straight day for John McCain in South Carolina and it seems to be working for him. While in January, SC Speaker of the House Bobby Harrell endorsed McCain, today he was joined by state Sen. Hugh Leatherman.


Here's the kicker for Republicans who think McCain is too liberal...



"Once upon a time, Ronald Reagan was a Democrat before he became a Republican. Sen. Leatherman was also a Democrat before he saw the light and became a Republican," McCain said to applause and laughter from the crowd.




And who can blame him for spending so much time in South Carolina - the state that pretty much wrapped up his presidential campaign in 2000, a huge let down after his New Hampshire win.


But today is McCain's last day in South Carolina - off to California tomorrow for a press conference with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
