BOSTON - Mitt Romney is endorsing former rival John McCain as the 2008 Republican presidential nominee fights to keep his Senate seat.
Romney said in a statement Tuesday the Arizona Senator's record of service and sacrifice for America is honored by all." The former Massachusetts governor added, "It's hard to imagine the U.S. Senate without John McCain."
McCain replied: "Gov. Romney is among the brightest and most dynamic leaders in our party, and I am proud to have his support."
Just two years removed from being his party's titular leader, McCain is facing a Republican primary challenge from former U.S. Rep. J.D. Hayworth. He complains McCain has supported big government spending and betrayed conservative values with his support for immigration reform.
