A motivating endorsement by the 41st President of the United States, George H.W.Bush, someone one who knows and understands the vast responsibility of the coveted office. As the Republican Convention draws near it is imperative for John McCain to acquire each and every endorsement available in order to secure the nomination out-right, ahead of Mike Huckabee; who is just relentless in his endeavors to reside at the White House. John McCain possesses a great deal of experience on both the national and international levels and offers the Republicans the best chance against an invigorated Democratic base. The endorsement of President Bush #41 is a clear sign that the deep Republican base as a whole have been un-nerved by the surprising energy that resonates throughout the Democratic side of the Field.

Sen. McCain must exploit each endorsement throughout this process until November, including those of the "Republican Elders" as well as those new power house independents, like Joe Liberman; who seem to be leaning in the favor of McCain and are showing a great deal of respect for the Arizona Senator, in-spite of the controversial and slanderous attacks on the candidate by media outlets. These media outlets are simply abusing the rights that protect their journalistic freedoms by involving themselves in such a low grade of journalism. That is why it is important for the Republican Party to pull together and get ready for a tough battle on the way to November and the General elections.

As always, with a show of respect and deep gratitude McCain excepted the elder Bush's critical endorsement, and he seems to be gaining a surging momentum, momentum he will need! Rounding out John McCain's endorsement field are the former heavy-weights of this election '08, Guliani, Romney, as well as a number of Governors, Senators, and representatives. This endorsement also seals the fate for the other Republican nominee, who desperately needs a boost in order to overcome the commanding lead McCain is basking in. This leaves Huckabee with the support of those such as Dr. James Dobson and the Evangelical base, but loosing any grip among Conservative and Independent "common people" as the base prepares for the road to November.

The respect between the 41st President and Sen. McCain was evident as the two battle worn soldiers stood behind the podium earlier this week and a definite arousal of the Republicans is beginning to emerge. Now the question that has yet to be answered is, Where does the rest of the Bush family toss their support and does that support help or hinder the Arizona Senator and Republican hopeful in his bid for the White House. Anxious to see more from this years exciting race, which has kept us all captivated and concerned, we stay glued to our HDTV's, tuned to talk shows, and intrigued in the news papers. With tensions building between the candidates on the way through the rest of this election event, tempers are inevitable and the exhibition of the values we desire to lead our country will eventually shine through one of the choices available. May our next Commander and Chief prove to be a reflection of our national standard and his decisions prove evident that the American people as a nation still retain the resolve and moral values to make that choice and to make a difference for the future of the greatest nation on Earth.
