Governor Rell Endorses John McCain

January 28, 2008 By: Heath Category: Breaking News, Governor Jodi Rell

Connecticut Governor M. Jodi Rell is announcing her endorsement for Arizona Republican Senator John McCain at this hour.  With just over a week before Connecticut Republicans head to the polls to vote in Connecticut’s Presidential Preference Primary, this long-awaited endorsement will certainly bolster the Arizonan’s campaign.

Pictured above from 2006 with then-Congressman Rob Simmons, McCain has been a regular visitor to the Nutmeg State for Reps. Simmons, Johnson, Shays each time they were up for re-election, as well as Governor Rell in 2006.  McCain is polling extremely well in Connecticut, with the recently reported UCONN/Hartford Courant poll putting McCain at 39% in the state, well ahead of his rival Presidential candidates.  Many observers, of course, will remember that McCain won CT in 2000, defeating then-Governor George W. Bush.

 Update: Lt. Governor Michael Fedele has also endorsed Senator McCain.

   I congratulate John McCain. I rather seen Governor Rell pick a fellow Governor and a real Republican Mike Huckabee. I am sure either way this state is much better off with out Rudy or Mitt.
   I just hope she requires Senator John McCain to sign the no Amemesty Bill and right to life.
   I hope Governor Rell will also request that Senator John McCain end the free trade and install fair trade policies so Americans can begin manufacturing again. So that the upper and middle class as well as the poor can pursue the right to happiness.
   Sincerely
   William
