Schwarzenegger backs McCain bid

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has officially endorsed John McCain's bid to become the Republican candidate for US president.

The governor called Mr McCain "a great American hero".

The Republican front-runner has had a good week, winning the Florida primary and then securing the support of Rudy Giuliani, who has now quit the race.

Meanwhile, the two leading Democratic candidates will go head-to-head in a debate after John Edwards withdrew.

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are left battling for their party's nomination after Mr Edwards, who had failed to win any of the Democratic nomination contests held so far, quit the race on Wednesday.
