Former GOP Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney Endorses Senator John McCain (R-AZ)
Romney threw his support behind McCain today at a rally in Boston, Massachusetts where McCain just arrived to accept the endorsement.
It was his first joint appearance with McCain since his withdrawal from the race last week. He asked his 286 delegates to support McCain and said that McCain’s “caliber” of a man was “apparent.” He also commended his service in Vietnam saying that his suffering showed his loyalty to the country. He said that the Democrats are “skilled at striking heroic poses.”
McCain spoke next thanking Romney for the “hard, intensive, honorable, [and] fine” campaign that he ran for his party’s nomination. He said he is grateful to Romney for running his campaign because it helped him become a better candidate. He said that there will be stark differences between the Republicans and Democrats in the presidential race and that he is “very honored” to have Romney and Romney’s supporters by his side.
