Link Mr. McCain, who has been on a steady search for support among conservative and evangelical leaders who have long distrusted him, said he was "very honored'' by Mr. Hagee's endorsement. Asked about Mr. Hagee's extensive writings on Armageddon and about what one questioner said was Mr. Hagee's belief that the anti-Christ will be the head of the European Union, Mr. McCain responded that "all I can tell you is that I am very proud to have Pastor John Hagee's support.''This wasn't just announced through a standard candidate press release but a full-blown news conference, featuring both Hagee and McCain standing together. Talk2Action posters have covered Hagee extensively. If you are new to the Texas Reverend, here are a few of Bruce's posts related to Hagee to get you started.
