San Diego, Calif.

We started this campaign a year ago right here, in San Diego Harbor, against the backdrop of American Naval power. We launched a campaign emphasizing a strong national defense, enforceable borders and restoring the industrial base of America.

Today we end this campaign. The Nevada caucuses reflecting only 2% of the vote for me. I ran the campaign exactly the way I wanted to, and at this point not being able to gain traction in conservative states of Nevada and South Carolina, it's time to allow our volunteers and supporters to focus on the campaigns that remain viable.

It's time for me to gear up for 2008's defense bill that will be put together over the coming weeks. There is work to be done in the areas of troop protection and new capabilities to be deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan. And over the horizon, the emergence of Communist China as a military super power will require a new emphasis on U.S. capabilities in undersea warfare, space, and long range air-power.

The best way to maintain a new era of peace is for the U.S. to remain strong. Over the coming year I will endeavor to help craft a defense bill that meets the new security challenges.

Since our campaign began over 200,000 additional manufacturing jobs have been lost. 1.8 million jobs have left the U.S. for China. This fracturing of the U.S. industrial base is a long term threat to America. I hope that the remaining candidates will recognize it and address it. As the senior Republican on the House Armed Services Committee, I will seek to address it.

Only hours ago a border patrolman was killed in the California Desert. This tragedy emphasizes more than ever the compelling case for the completion of the border fence. Since I wrote the bill that mandates 854 miles of double border fence only a few miles have been constructed. Over the next year in Congress I will do everything in my power to get that fence built.

Finally, for Lynn and me, the campaign over the last year has shown us this: America is a wonderful country. Our people have great character and goodness, and the meeting of new friends has enriched our lives.

The failure of our campaign to gain traction is mine and mine alone. But we have driven the issues of national security, the border fence, the emergence of China and the need to reverse bad trade policy. Because of that, this campaign has been very worthwhile, and for the Hunter family, a lot of fun.

To our friends and supporters and volunteers: many thanks. And now it's time for me to focus on developing a 2008 defense bill that serves our troops and our nation.

Thanks, and God Bless America.

The best man is now out of the campaign.

And the biggest slime traitor has won in SC.

This saddens me. There's no one left for me to vote for

This is just wrong, the majority of us never even had a chance to vote for him. I think that candidates need to stay in for the entire primary.

I realize Mc Cain was a POW and while I feel bad for what happen to him and respect him for his service to his country, I just have to wonder what are American thinking?

It is a sad day indeed when someone like Rep. Hunter has to drop out of the presidential race because Americans voted for someone who has stood on the Senate floor and cast one vote after another against the American people.

Someone who is no better than Bush, who puts the citizens of every other country before Americans, a man who has been a part of the problems we now have before us.

He spews terror to scare Americans and leads them to believe if they don't vote for him they will not be safe.

SC a state with a huge illegal problem, what can they be thinking? I am simply baffled.

Why can't Americans see through this facade?


Well lets hope this is his only victory, and I am surely glad Rep.Duncan Hunter is still in the U.S. congress on our side, we are going to need every good man in congress we can get!!

If SC is overflowing with illegal aliens, and McCain is a big champion for them, then doesn't it stand to reason that there are illegal aliens casting illegal votes in our country, namely SC??

How else to explain the baffling McAmnesty win in the illegal alien state?
