RNC CHAIRMAN DUNCAN RESPONDS TO FIRST PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE

WASHINGTON – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Robert M. “Mike” Duncan released the following statement tonight.

“The first presidential debate sent Americans a clear message: John McCain is by far the most qualified and prepared candidate to lead our country as Commander in Chief. With thorough and direct responses, McCain’s leadership was evident as he controlled the dialogue, speaking from his wealth of experience on issues he has focused on during his entire career. I’m confident voters will come away from this debate with a clear idea of who is ready to be the next president, and I’m confident they saw those qualifications and sound judgment in one person, Senator John McCain.”
