11 RNC MEMBERS ENDORSE JOHN MCCAIN

1/26/08 U.S. Senator John McCain's presidential campaign today announced the endorsement of 11 Republican National Committee members.

"Electability is becoming a very important issue in this nomination contest and John McCain is the strongest candidate we could nominate to defeat the Democrat nominee in November," said RNC Vice Chairman Chuck Yob.

John McCain thanked the RNC members, stating, "I am honored that these leaders of the Republican Party have endorsed my candidacy, and am grateful for their support," said Senator McCain.

Members of the Republican National Committee are automatically seated as delegates at the Republican National Convention. However, the Michigan delegates may not be seated, because of the early Michigan Republican Primary. From this endorsement list, John McCain has 9 super-delegate votes at the Republican National Convention.
