| Sen. John McCain at an event for Mia Love |
From the Salt Lake Tribune: " Arizona Sen. John McCain said Thursday that he believes Mia Love can be an effective member of Congress, despite polarization in Washington, because of her profile and prominence in political circles. 'People who come to Washington, if they have some gravitas associated with them, like she does — she will be an instant star — and that will give her the ability to work to get things done,' McCain said in an interview with The Salt Lake Tribune. 'She also was proven as a mayor, admittedly of a small town, but as a mayor and she has been able to work with a lot of other people as well.'"
The article continues about the event: "McCain spoke Thursday evening to a crowd of about 250 at a rally for the Love campaign, part of a swing through Western states by the 2008 Republican presidential nominee. Earlier he helped Love’s campaign raise money at an event hosted by C.R. England Trucking. 'President Romney, if I may be so bold, is going to need a strong right arm,' McCain said, explaining that Romney will need a majority of Republicans in the Senate. 'He’s also going to need some foot soldiers in the movement,' and Love could be one of those people."
