HAMILTON — Barely a week after his Florida win, Republican presidential candidate John McCain will be stumping for voters on Monday in Hamilton Township.

McCain, now seen as the GOP front-runner for the presidential nomination, will appear at the Colonial Firehouse around noon, a day before the Super Tuesday showdown in 24 states including New Jersey.

Monday’s appearance is McCain’s final chance to influence voters before voting in the state’s primary.

Political pundits have watched as party members have not given the nation a clear choice of who they wanted to for their nominee. Party members have watched as presidential candidates Ron Paul, Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, McCain, Rudy Giuliani, and Fred Thompson criss-crossed the country hoping to win the hearts and the minds of the party faithful.

GOP candidates have struggled to win over party members with McCain, Romney and Huckabee having won one or two primaries. Thompson removed his bid for the top job and Giuliani is expected to leave the race today as well.

Noting New Jersey’s importance in the presidential race, McCain opened his state campaign office last week in Hamilton on Nottingham Way. State Sen. Bill Baroni was named as the campaign’s state chairman.

Doors to Monday’s event are scheduled to open at 11 a.m. at the Colonial Firehouse located at 801 Kuser Road in Hamilton.
