MESA, Ariz. (AP) —Once bitter rivals for the presidency, Mitt Romney and John McCain campaigned together as friends on Friday, one gearing up for a likely presidential bid and the other fighting to hold onto his seat in the U.S. Senate.
The two Republicans fielded questions from a largely supportive audience of several hundred people, touching on issues including immigration and the environment while heaping criticism on President Barack Obama.
Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, battled with McCain in 2008 for the Republican nomination for president, then aggressively campaigned for McCain in the general election. He has endorsed the Arizona senator in his current re-election bid.
(snip)
Romney said McCain's clout after 28 years in Congress is important in fighting the Obama administration.
"He's a Washington heavyweight," Romney said of McCain. "He knows how to push back against the Obama machine."
(snip)
McCain opened the town hall meeting with a nod to their "spirited campaign," but suggested Romney was gracious in defeat.
"After that primary was completed, there was no one person who worked harder on behalf of our ticket and the things that we believe in than Mitt Romney," McCain said.

Romney should just go buy a business somewhere and get the heck out of politics. He has no future in the “new” Republican Party.

Why can’t Romney just go away?
If for some reason I were to vote McCain, the fact that this flaming liberal Romney is supporting him is enough reason not to vote McCain.
RINOs need to be removed.
