U.S. Senator John McCain's presidential campaign today announced that an additional 35 Republican National Committee Members have endorsed John McCain for president.

"This latest round of endorsements goes to show that the Republican Party is rallying around John McCain," said RNC Vice Chairman Chuck Yob. "Republicans across the country are confident that John McCain is the leader best prepared to serve as commander in chief from day one, and they know he is the one candidate who can defeat either Senator Clinton or Senator Obama in November."

John McCain thanked the RNC members, saying, "I sincerely appreciate the support of these RNC delegates. They make a great addition to our growing team of Republican leaders, and I look forward to working with them for victory in November."
