« U.S. education secretary visiting R.I. tomorrow | Today | Woman convicted on gun and drug charges in Mass. » February 14, 2008Carcieri endorses John McCain for presidentWARWICK -- Governor Carcieri, who originally supported former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney in the 2008 presidential race, gave a ringing endorsement today to Sen. John McCain. "I'm going to do everything I possibly can" to make sure that he's the next president, Carcieri said minutes ago. More than 1,000 McCain supporters are gathered to hear a speech from the first major presidential candidate to visit Rhode Island in this election cycle. Among those in the crowd are some of his old Naval Academy classmates, including Ed Clune, of North Kingstown, and George Brenner, from Newport. They were both in the class of 1958 with McCain. “He was a great guy, a real character,” Brenner said of his former schoolmate. “He was always straightforward and very hard-nosed.” Clune called McCain a “man’s man. He liked to party, he liked women, he liked sports -- he was just one of those guys, very charismatic, the kind of guy everyone liked.” When asked if he thought he saw McCain as a future president, Brennar said “actually, I thought it more likely that he would become an admiral like his grandfather and father before him. But now that you think of it,” he added, “I’m not surprised because he’s a real leader.” Adding to his classmates endorsement, is Mitt Romney, who, officials tell the Associated Press, will endorse McCain today. Journal staff writer Scott MacKay with reports from the Associated Press Posted by Jack Perry CommentsPortsmouth Citizen | February 14, 2008 2:22 PM link McCain is not a natural born citizen of the United States. He cannot be president if you look at amendment II article 1. The 14 th amendment also supports this. He was born on leased property in Panama. If you look at his knowledge on the economy and his positions on the war and immigration he has very little offer the country in financially trying times. North Vietnam could force him out of the campaign by releasing POW film at any time. The Republican party has made a tremendous mistake. In NH in 2000 McCain had a 38% lead in 08 5%. The McCain has as many skeletons in his closet as Rudy... The power of the RNC only gave McCain 3% win in the FL primary... Very weak candidate unfortunately we cannot get a draft anyone but.... at a brokered convention. Highwaytoserfdom | February 15, 2008 7:20 AM link If Barack Obama wins the endorsement, how many Hillary Clinton supporters will switch parties and vote for John McCain? Curious | February 15, 2008 7:35 AM link I hope you are not a lawyer... Anyone whose parents are citizens are themselves birthright citizens, regardless of their place of birth. Additionally, anyone born in the US controlled Panama canal zone is a birthright citizen if one or their parents is a citizen John McCain actually is a "Great American" He will be a great President B.
