McCain Charges Up Volunteers in Newport Beach

Republican volunteers staffing a huge outdoor phone bank got a visit and pep talk from Senator McCain this morning as the Republican nominee made his way to Mission Viejo for the big Saddleback Church event later this afternoon.

A huge crowd of Republican activists greeted Sen. McCain as he arrived and thanked everyone for their dedication and work on the campaign. "We will compete and we will win in California," Sen. McCain said, reiterating his commitment to fighting for every vote in the Golden State.

As Chairman, I'm very impressed and encouraged by the amount of time Senator McCain has dedicated and will continue to dedicate to California. His determination to compete and win here is clear and convincing.

Thanks to all of the memebrs of the many volunteer groups who participated this morning, including Women's Fed members from throughout the region, CRA leaders, volunteers for the OCGOP, and so many others.

Also, a high five to the members of the CRP team who worked throughout the night to prepare the site for today's visit. Great work.
