Republican John McCain asked disgruntled conservatives to support his presidential bid on Thursday, shortly after Mitt Romney ended his struggling campaign and made McCain the all-but-certain nominee.
McCain assured a conference of conservative activists he was one of them, citing his commitment to win in Iraq, halt Iran's nuclear ambitions and rein in the federal government while drawing sharp contrasts with potential Democratic opponents Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama.
McCain's speech, which drew boos on the topic of illegal immigration, followed by a few hours Romney's surprise announcement at the conference that he was ending his run to allow Republicans to focus on the November election.
"I feel I have to now stand aside, for our party and for our country," the former Massachusetts governor told the shocked crowd, some of whom gasped and shouted "No, no!" in response.

What is best for our troops, and the fight against terrorism. It may not be a perfect choice, but it is the best option considering the other option is Hillary/Hussein.
I have added this McCain Campaign button to my profile
I took down the picture that degraded McCain. I know that if Fredheads can change to Mitt, then they can make one more change for McCain. If a Mitthead can , then I know a Fredhead can.. do it for the TROOPS and the Gipper.
“Would you vote for McCain?”
My answer is neither a yes or a no, but more of a barfing sound.
Time to Roll!
I think I’ll give him a one finger salute.
I will vote for McCain if he picks a solid conservative Veep.
At the same time we have to put our efforts into supporting Conservatives for Congress. The negative effects of McCain can be outbalanced by a strong conservative presence in Congress. Let’s not give up yet. We can’t allow Hillary or Hussein Obama to enter the White House!
I will do what I have to do, for Our troops, I will not have them pulled out of Iraq after their hard fought fight, I will not let a liberal decide what happens with their health care.
insert crickets chirping here.
I think I will set back for a couple of months and decide.
“McCain asks conservatives for support”
Juan we’ve been asking you for that for years now. F U Juan. F U and the elephant that you rode in on.
Come on now Paleo Conservative, get over it, time to make some changes.
I can see this is not going to be easy, disgruntled Conservatives are also stubborn. :-)
That’s too long for a tagline, but it would seem to sum things up nicely.
Not a chance...I’ve made up my mind. Actually I made up my mind years ago about McCain.
No way will I vote for McCain. I prefer to let the dems have a chance to screw things up for the next four years.
Oh but you will. I know you don’t think you will, but you will.
Otherwise, he selects Huckhead or some other poser I'm stayin' home.
