Curt Schilling endorses McCain

I'll admit it's not desirable to be scooped on my political beat by the sports section, but the Globe's "Extra Bases" blog transcribes Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling's appearance on WEEI this morning:

"I gotta go with McCain," said Schilling. "As we get through this, and we start to hear things, I'm not voting party line anymore. I'm voting for the guy that I know is going to be the same person four years from now that he was when [he was] elected. I need to trust somebody because I don't agree with anybody's platform front to back. I just need to know that the person that I'm putting in the office is not going to... people don't want to hear this but President Bush has stayed very true to what he's wanted, and what he's done, and I just think the office is bigger than any one person. I need somebody that I can trust to do right by the country and stick to their guns."
