WASHINGTON, Nov. 10 (UPI) -- John McCain's campaign manager sent out an e-mail to the failed Republican presidential candidate's backers Monday, saying they "fought the good fight."

"Despite the enormous headwinds we encountered, our organization and supporters remained resolute," Rick Davis wrote in the Internet-delivered message. "We fought the good fight."

Davis said all those involved in the campaign should be "incredibly proud" of the work they did, noting thousands of volunteers "made tens of millions of phone calls and door knocks in the final weeks of the campaign, setting all-time voter contact records for our party," The Hill reported Monday.

"We came together as a family, with a single purpose; to put our country first and get John McCain elected president," Davis said. "To the millions of people that came to our rallies, made phone calls, knocked on doors, forwarded emails, contributed a few dollars, put a bumper sticker on your car and became dedicated advocates for John McCain -- Thank you. You have my deepest gratitude for your efforts and support."
