Nancy Reagan Endorses McCain
Former First Lady Becomes The Latest GOP Heavyweight To Back Nominee-In-Waiting

SANTA ANA, Calif., March 25, 2008


snip...
"John McCain has been a good friend for over thirty years," Reagan said. "My husband and I first came to know him as a returning Vietnam War POW, and were impressed by the courage he had shown through his terrible ordeal. I believe John's record and experience have prepared him well to be our next president."

Reagan's support was expected, and she will become the latest Republican heavyweight to fall in line behind McCain. She and McCain have long been close, and it was only a matter of time before she spoke up for her friend.

Her endorsement could help McCain shore up the backing of conservatives in Republican base that long has viewed him skeptically for his record of breaking with the party on some issues they hold dear. At the same time, Reagan's nod also could help further align him with the former president who attracted Democratic as well as Republican voters.

She knows these bastards can't wait for her to die so they can dump stem cell research once and for all and then claim she was for it all along.

Poor, poor Nancy.
