Republican and Conservative political analysis and commentary

Tom Coburn endorsed John McCain in South Carolina today:

“I am very proud to endorse my friend and colleague Senator John McCain for President of the United States,” Coburn said. “John McCain and I have stood side-by-side on many issues, and I’d like to speak to two of them today: fiscal responsibility and ensuring the sanctity of human life.”

Coburn said McCain is the “one true reformer” he has met since 1995, the Oklahoma Republican’s first year to serve in Congress. Coburn said his colleague is “guided by strong conservative principles” and “beholden to no special interests.”

Coburn said he is confident McCain as president would “veto any pork-barrel bill that crosses his desk and will make the authors famous.”

Coburn's endorsement probably won't do much for McCain in South Carolina. However, Oklahoma holds its primary on February 5th. Coburn who is a true man of principle is well respected in Oklahoma and will give McCain credibility in the  Cornhusker State on Tsunami Tuesday.
