McCain says he relishes fight to come

Posted by Foon Rhee, deputy national political editor January 15, 2008 09:29 PM

John McCain, projected to finish second in Michigan, said tonight he's prepared for a long nomination battle.

He told supporters in Charleston, S.C., that while it appeared after his stirring win in New Hampshire last week that if he won in Michigan he might build hard-to-beat momentum, "We don't mind a fight."

McCain is now focusing on Saturday's primary in South Carolina, where polls show he is in a tough battle with Mike Huckabee.
