ARPAIO FOR McCAIN

March 8, 2008

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who previously endorsed former GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney for president, said he now backs fellow Arizonan John McCain for the nation's top job.

"My point is, he's the nominee," Arpaio said. "I'm going to support him."

Arpaio didn't merely endorse the former governor of Massachusetts, he traveled around the country during the early primary season speaking in support of Romney's approach to handling illegal immigration.

Arpaio said he would give McCain his official endorsement if McCain or his people asked, but to date, they haven't asked.

The only condition to formally endorsing McCain, Arpaio said, is that he be allowed to actively campaign for the presidential candidate. Arpaio said he wants to be more actively involved than just simply lending his name to campaign literature.

When asked about the differences between his and McCain's stances on immigration, Arpaio shrugged and noted that he and the Arizona senator agreed on enough other issues to seal a deal.

Arpaio is a good man, but, unfortunatly, no one is perfect. He could back Ron Paul..

Not even for America's greatest sheriff, would I vote for McLame.

I find this hard to believe.

ANYWAY - I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR McCAIN.

This is really a shame.

First thought, maybe if McCain gets the nomination he's ready to put Arpaio in Chertoff's position? We could push for that.

It's obvious the good sheriff is, how shall I say it, less than enthusiastic about the candidacy of John McCain.

Join the club.

Safari, I don't think John McCain welcomes Arpaio's support. This would never happen. Besides, Arpaio is older than John McCain and his days are numbered...
