As presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain headed to the White House to recieve an endorsement from President Bush, a reporter asked spokeswoman Dana Perino whether the president thinks his endorsement would actually help Sen. McCain.

Some are calling her reply the Quote of the Day.

"Well, as the president has said before, when it comes to helping Republican candidates, he will campaign for them — or against them if they think that that will help."

UPDATE: Per White House correspondent Mark Knoller, later in the day the president echoed Perino's sentiment: "If my showing up and endorsing him helps him, or if I'm against him and it helps him, either way, I want him to win."
