Just off the transom, State GOP Chairman Ron Nehring issued a hearty "congrats" to Senator McCain for his big win here in the Golden State:
"Congratulations to Senator McCain for his victory across California today. Based on the results reported by the Secretary of State, Senator McCain has triumphed in every part of California, from the Oregon border to San Diego.
California Republicans know how to win in our state, as Governor Schwarzenegger and Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner demonstrated in 2006.
While the contest for the Republican presidential nomination appears it may continue, we’re confident the issues of this campaign – the economy and keeping America on offense in Iraq and the Global War on Terrorism – will be those where Republicans have demonstrated consistent strength."
