I watched the primary nastiness last year when McCain and Huckabee (two real nasties) double teamed against Romney. It was ugly. While Chris Matthews was geting tingles up his leg for Obama, I voted for Romney in the GOP primary because who I really wanted had dropped out. Then I did what McCain's mother told us disenchanted conservatives to do. I held my nose and voted for her son over Mr Experience-Lite Radical in the general election. Now this Romney endorsement followed by a "right back at ya, sweat pea," McCain kiss...
"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.'"
Oh, get a hotel room. <Barf, Barf>
Romney backs former rival McCain for re-election - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100223/ap_on_el_se/us_romney_mccain - broken link)
I have no idea why he endorsed McCain and really am somewhat put off by it. Romney should have been the nominee last time and probably would have been if not for McCain and Huckabee's little tag team.
The only reason I can imagine he did it is to keep McCain in Congress and out of the next primaries. I held my nose and voted for McCain last time also, but I will not vote for him again.
I know what each of them are up to but considering what went down in the primaries, it makes me want to stick my finger down my throat and puke. And you know what? If Tax Hike Mike Huckabee (whined about the CPAC vote not being fair) decides to run, McCain will throw Romney under the bus for his true love, Huckabee, making Romney look pitiful.
McCain is too old to be President now but the real scary person probably considering getting in the race is Mike Huckabee. He's a wolf in sheep's clothing. I really, really, really don't like him. I think he's the Republican equivalent of John Edwards only not as wussy and not scandalous, just a real phony and mean, and if you say they are all like that then I think he's more obviously putting on an act than the rest of them. My opinion, of course.
I pretty much agree about Huckabee. I thought he was ok until he played the little game to get McCain nominated and pretended to be really in it for his own nomination. Pleeeeze... I can't believe anyone was that dumb. I find him very opportunistic and not genuine at all. I just felt like Romney was lightyears ahead of Huckabee or McCain in the smarts department and we really need that sort of leadership, especially with the budget and this financial mess we are in.

As a Democrat I hope Hayworth wins, against McCain the Dems have no chance at picking up the seat, against Hayworth they do. Do you honestly think it would have been wise for Romney to endorse the Abramoff linked Hayworth??
Laura, I am not saying Huckabee is great. In fact if you read what I say, I am admitting I didn't live here when he was governor so I only know what I see and saw and read while he was running and now. I know several people like you who have more personal knowledge and who I respect..This is why I am not sure how I feel anymore..

McCain is a much better choice over Hayworth. McCain in my opinion, as a conservative Republican, has a very good record, especially on fiscal and military issues. He also has an insight that is invaluable and a senate without John McCain would not be the same.
The former Massachusetts governor added, 'It's hard to imagine the U.S. Senate without John McCain.
"Hard to imagine" OK, but still something we should wish and work for. McCain is a lying sack (note; I actively campaigned for him in 2000 and I'm still PO'd at Bush for what his henchmen ran in South Carolina) who really needs to carry cue cards so he can keep his lies straight.
The day he introduced (and started telling whoppers about) miss Bobble Head I knew he had lost it, once I heard her LIE FILLED harangue to the R convention I started writing checks to the Ds and volunteering 60 or so hours a week to my local D campaign offices.
The man has no conscience, no moral compass and is a complete waste of skin IMO.
I think his opponent should just ask the "Bush/Cheney 2004" campaign if they can use the "Kerry Flip Flop" ads and substitute McCain's name for Kerry's.
As for the "record of service and sacrifice", that is one of the most laughable lines to come out of Romney's pie hole since '08. Let's review that record;
Obviously a shi**y pilot based on the shear weight of take offs over landings. OK, he gets a pass on the one due to SAM activity, but what about the rest?
Turned down an assignment to the middle east, despite it heating up as a place of interest, to take an embassy assignment in South America because "the pu**y is much better".
Banking scandal anyone?
Bush tax cuts for the rich are bad, until they are good.
Dumb the sick wife and marry the multi millionaire's dopey (later dopeR) daughter.
Never met a corporate jet he didn't like.
Never met a (female) lobbyist and her jet he didn't REALLY like.
Thinks Phil Graham is a genius. This one should be enough to have him committed, yet he is still sometimes allowed out without his keepers.
And finally, he is so imcompetent that he lost an election to a (according to most posters here) 1. non-citizen, 2, Kenyan, 3, socialist, 4, communist, 5, fascist, 6, terrorist, 7, Black guy. Hell, that right there shows how incompetent he is. If he couldn't beat someone with 7 strikes while he had on his ticket (again, according to most posters here) the 1, smartest, 2, most honest, 3, best read, 4, sexiest, 5, most knowledgeable about energy, 6, hottest MILF in America, then he has no business even running.
John McCain is a moron, as is anyone who gives him money or supports his candidacy.

we are hoping that the senate would not be the same....
americans are tired of business as usual. how many years do you have to be in office to fix things? mccain had his chance and his time is up. (and should have been up earlier IMO)

Let me guess, you aren't going to support the Democrat and will support Abramoff's buddy. Speaking of the ability to "fix things".....

Ties to Abramoff are eternally damning, while ties to Wright/Ayers/Khalidi/Alinksy/ACORN/Frank Marshall Davis/Farrakhan (sp?)/Rezko/Blago and not proving your natural-born citizenship and sealing all your records is OK?
I'd support JDH over McCain. He is a real conservative unlike McCain, who is now supporting conservative causes b/c he has a GOP primary on his hands.
