Mitt Romney and John McCain have a history of tense relations dating back to their vicious battle for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination, but any hard feelings appear to have been put aside as McCain endorsed Romney on Wednesday to be the party’s nominee to take on President Obama. “It’s with some nostalgia that I return to this place that I love so well,” said McCain, a popular figure in New Hampshire who twice won presidential primaries here. “I’m really here for one reason and one reason only and that is to make sure we make Mitt Romney the next president of the United States of America. And New Hampshire, and New Hampshire is the state that will catapult him onto victory in a very short period of time. That’s why I’m here.” McCain, whom Romney introduced as “an American hero” and “a giant among men,” painted a bleak picture of President Obama’s tenure. “Our message for President Barack Obama is you can run but you can’t hide from your record of making this country bankrupt, from destroying our national security and to making this nation one that we have to restore with Mitt Romney as the president of the United States of America,” said the Arizona senator, speaking in front of a few hundred people gathered in a high school gym. |
