STATEMENT BY SC CO-CHAIR ATTORNEY GENERAL HENRY MCMASTER ON JOHN MCCAIN'S VICTORY IN THE SOUTH CAROLINA PRIMARY

U.S. Senator John McCain's South Carolina Co-Chair, Attorney General Henry McMaster, issued the following statement regarding the results of the South Carolina Primary:

"We are thrilled with tonight's results and grateful that Republicans from the Palmetto State chose John McCain as their candidate for president. We are proud of the campaign we ran in the state and grateful for the dedication and enthusiasm from our staff and hundreds of volunteers."

South Carolina voters recognized that John McCain is the only candidate with the experience and judgment necessary to lead as commander in chief from day one, and the only Republican who can beat the Democratic nominee in November. I am confident that voters in Florida will make a similar decision to nominate John McCain for president in the weeks ahead."
