McCain Receives Surprise* Endorsement

At a campaign stop in Iowa, Rudy took a question on repealing McCain-Feingold and turned it into one of the strangest endorsements of the cycle, saying of John McCain, "If I weren't running for president, I'd be here supporting him... If for some reason I made a decision not to run, he'd be my candidate."

Weird that Rudy would endorse the only actual Republican in the race! Of course, that endorsement and $2 will get McCain on a squeaky-clean subway system and deposited at a squeegee man-free destination of his choice. As it is: Meaningless platitudes that sound nice in front of an audience. Or, as Rudy as also calls them, "marriage vows."

*I cannot spell.
