STATEMENT BY CAMPAIGN MANAGER RICK DAVIS FOLLOWING THE MSNBC DEBATE
ARLINGTON, VA -- Rick Davis, John McCain 2008 Campaign Manager, issued the following statement on this evening's MSNBC debate:
"One man alone on tonight's stage proved he has what it takes to step-in and serve as commander in chief from day one. That man's name is John McCain. He alone combines the personal qualities of courage, integrity, and wisdom with an unmatched command of the issues facing our nation.
"Our nation is facing the duel threat of radical Islamic extremism and economic downturn. Now is not the time for on the job training. Now is the time for leadership we can trust. What sets John McCain apart from the other fine candidates in the field isn't his rhetoric, but rather his proven record of advancing the conservative cause and bringing fundamental change to Washington.
"Tonight, John McCain showed once again why he is the conservative candidate who can defeat the Democrats in November."
