Rell Endorses McCain

Governor Jodi Rell has endorsed John McCain in his quest to become the Republican nominee for President.

Rell has stayed neutral up until now, indicating at times that she may choose McCain or Rudy Giuliani. The Governor is pro-choice, which is what may have delayed her announcement. However, with Giuliani fading, the McCain endorsement makes a lot of sense.

This now gives McCain a very strong base here in Connecticut. Not only does he have Governor Rell, but he also has Senator Joe Lieberman and Congressman Chris Shays. Lt. Governor Mike Fedele announced today that he too supports the Arizona Senator. He also leads in the latest poll by double digits. McCain won our state in 2000.
