McCain Secures Needed Delegates to Become GOP Nominee

HeadlineMar 05, 2008

In the Republican race, Senator John McCain won all four states and won enough delegates to secure the party’s nomination.

Sen. John McCain: “I understand the responsibilities I incur with this nomination, and I give you my word, I will not evade or slight a single one. Our campaign must be and will be more than another tired debate of false promises, empty sound bites or useless arguments from the past that address not a single of America’s concerns for their families’ security.”

McCain is scheduled to travel to Washington today to receive the endorsement of President Bush. Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee dropped out of the race last night after the networks called Ohio for McCain.
