August 25, 2008 McCain en fuego with 'Gasolina' star Play video

(NECN: Phoenix, Arizona) - Senator John McCain spoke at Central High School in Phoenix, Arizona this morning, but he was not the main attraction for most of the students.

The Republican presidential hopeful was joined by Latin Grammy Award-winning Puerto Rican reggaeton recording artist Daddy Yankee, who is best-known for his hit song "Gasolina."

McCain calls Daddy Yankee a "great American success story."

"It is a very special honor to be here," said Daddy Yankee. "I am here to endorse Senator McCain because I believe in his ideals," said Daddy Yankee.
