Endorsement Watch

Stormin' Norman has endorsed John McCain. General H. Norman Schwarzkopf, U.S. Army (Ret.) lauded the Arizona senator in a statement released by McCain's campaign: "Senator John McCain has served our country with honor in war and in peace. He has demonstrated the type of courageous leadership our country sorely needs at this time. For that reason, he has my complete support."

Meanwhile, Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell will announce his support for Hillary Clinton at an event in Philly this afternoon, reports the The Morning Call of Allentown. Per the paper: "Rendell often has been mentioned as a possible pick for vice president -- despite his insisting he'll finish his term -- and the endorsement is sure to fuel fresh speculation that he could be on Clinton's short-list, should she win the nomination."
