Romney accepts McCain’s endorsement in GOP race


MANCHESTER, N.H. — A triumphant Mitt Romney roared into New Hampshire this afternoon trumpeting an endorsement from U.S. Sen. John McCain — the winner of the bitter 2008 Granite State primary — as he seeks to coalesce his support following an Iowa win.
"Our message to President Barack Obama is you can run but you can’t hide from your record,” said an enthused McCain at Manchester Central High School, where Obama spoke to a packed house only two months before. “I’m really here with one reason and one reason only and that is to make sure that we make Mitt Romney the next president of the United States ... New Hampshire is the state that will catapult him to victory in a very short period of time, that’s why I’m here."
Romney welcomed McCain despite a furious battle downplayed his narrow lead in Iowa, calling him, “a friend, an American hero, a giant among men.
Romney’s push to secure his Granite State support comes as former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum surprised the nation with a tie finish in Iowa, leading to a big boost as he tours the state today and tomorrow. Romney congratulated Santorum on his campaign earlier today but during the rally made it clear that he is the most electable candidate. He downplayed his slim win in Iowa yesterday.
“What a squeaker, but it sure is nice to have a win, let me tell you, and the question is can we do better in New Hampshire,” said Romney, who later fielded a barrage of often hostile questions about big corporations, why he changed health care, and why he insults Asians.
“I hope I haven’t put any Asians down,” said Romney, who often slams China in his stump speech for violating trade laws. “I love people who come from other lands. I love legal immigrants and if I’m president we’ll have more of them.”
McCain also weighed in, however, blasting the communist country.
“When you carry out a basically totalitarian form of government, then I can’t admire that,” said McCain,
He also trucked out most of his high profile surrogates, including U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte
Nashua resident Brian Dooley said the boost from McCain carries a lot of weight with New Hampshire voters.
“He’s well known and his reputation precedes him. He’s a Republican of the greatest stature,” said Dooley, a Romney supporter. “I think he’s an American hero and the endorsement couldn’t be any stronger.”
Arlene Phillips, of Tuscon, Arizona, however, wasn’t too impressed by the nod.
“He’s O.K. He’s not my favorite,” she shrugged. “He hasn’t been that great for Arizona.
