I just got off of a national conservative blogger briefing with Senator John McCain, and let me tell you, that is one pumped up primary winner! He was with his colleague, Senator Lindsay Graham, and was very enthusiastic. I was going to ask the Senator about his campaign plans for California, since we’ve already begun to vote here. But it was like trying to call into a radio talk show, getting to ask a question. The format of these calls (and to the Senator’s credit, he holds them frequently) is that McCain talks for a few minutes, and then throws things open to Q&A. When that happens, the moderator tells you to push a button if you have a question. I swear to you my finger was ON the button at that time — and still, a half-dozen others ended up in the queue before me. Alas, I didn’t make the cut. Suffice it to say, though, that McCain (and he should be) is very upbeat today. (For a thorough write up from the call, check here on the NRO Blog.)
I’m sure that all 179 McCain supporters submitted as potential delegates for California are pretty ginned up today as well. I just received a copy of their submitted delegate list for the Golden State, and so below is a list of all of the names.
Oh yeah, for those who did not know, imported Californian Steve Schmidt (who moved here to manager Governor Schwarzenegger’s successful re-election campaign) is a senior adviser to McCain, and was on the ground in the Granite State, playing a key role. So congrats to Steve for yesterday’s strong showing for the Senator.
(The delegate lists for Thompson, Giuliani and Romney can be found further down on this blog — keep scrolling as we’ve had a lot of activity here lately. A reminder that delegates are submitted by Congressional District (the number on the left besides each name). If a candidate gets a plurality of the vote in that district, all three of their submitted delegates are seated. The at-large and bonus delegates are all awarded to whomever gets the most votes statewide.)
