Mitt Romney formally threw his support to John McCain this afternoon, calling the man he clashed heatedly with "a true American hero" and urging his delegates to support his former rival.
"With their rhetoric our Democratic opponents are very skilled at striking heroic poses," Romney said, speaking at his Boston headquarters with McCain by his side. "With our Republican nominee we’re going to offer the American people the real thing.
McCain, who had met privately with his foe before the press conference, thanked Romney for his support and saluted his former rival for having run a "fine, intensive and honorable campaign."
Just in case we had forgotten, the DNC sent out one of the Arizonan's tougher shots at a foe he could barely conceal his contempt for.
McCain accused Romney of "wholesale deception of voters," the day before the hard-fought Florida primary on January 28th.
Romney today was gracious, lavishing praise in prepared remarks on the man who defeated him.
