I had supported Governor George W. Bush over Senator John McCain in the 2000 Rhode Island presidential primary.

John McCain has become the de facto running mate of George W. Bush.

I was a choir boy for 3 years in high school at St. George's in Newport, Rhode Island.

If George W. Bush is the kind of person folks might like to have a beer with, John McCain is the guy you pray you don't get seated next to at a dinner party.

I can't stand John McCain.

The place of exciting innovation - where the action is - that's Rhode Island!
