Reynolds: It’s Time To Back McCain

Rep. Thomas Reynolds, R-Clarence, Erie County, came out in support of John McCain for president today, saying it’s time for conservatives in the GOP to rally around McCain.
Reynolds, former chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, said McCain has “offered more examples of where we as Republicans agree than where we don’t. ”
In a letter to GOP lawmakers, Reynolds said that as Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton battle over the Democratic nomination, backing McCain will help the party in November.
Reynolds is making the pitch after McCain’s top rival, Mitt Romney, dropped out of the race yesterday.
“Because the reality is, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and Senator Barack Obama, plainly and simply, don’t measure up to Senator McCain in experience or on being a true conservative – let alone being a true American hero.
In fact, Clinton and Obama will be engaged in a fierce battle for the next several weeks and continue to move their debate further to the left. This protracted battle on the Democrats’ side creates an opportunity for Republicans in November that demands we unite behind our candidate now.”
