Romney Endorses McCain, Releases Delegates
PROVIDENCE, R.I. ~ Mitt Romney, John McCain's former chief rival for the Republican presidential nomination, endorsed the Arizona senator today.
Romney made the endorsement at his campaign headquarters in Boston and released his 280 delegates and asked them to support McCain.
The former Massachusetts governor dropped out of the race last week after it became apparent that toppling McCain would be near impossible given his lead in the hunt for convention delegates.
Romney made his decision on Thursday, one official said, in hopes of helping McCain get the delegates he needs to secure the Republican Party nod and unite the GOP while Democrats continue to battle for their own nomination. The endorsement came together quickly.
