Rick Davis, the campaign manager for Republican
presidential nominee John McCain, on Monday thanked the candidate’s supporters,
saying that they should be “incredibly proud” of their effort. He made it clear that the election was not lost on the
ground.
“Despite the enormous headwinds we encountered, our
organization and supporters remained resolute,” he wrote in an e-mail to McCain
backers. “We fought the good fight.”
Davis touted the GOP’s ground game, saying thousands of
volunteers “made tens of millions of phone calls and door knocks in the final
weeks of the campaign, setting all-time voter contact records for our party.”
He added that everybody involved in the campaign should
be proud of their efforts.
“We
came together as a family, with a single purpose; to put our country first and
get John McCain elected president,” he stated. “To the millions of people that
came to our rallies, made phone calls, knocked on doors, forwarded emails,
contributed a few dollars, put a bumper sticker on your car and became
dedicated advocates for John McCain — Thank You. You have my deepest gratitude
for your efforts and support.”
