Romney Shows How To Graciously Support McCain

Today it is official as Mitt Romney finally threw his support, and delagates, to Sen. John McCain and effectivly gave the senator the Republican presidential nomination.
The greatest line from Mr. Romney was this:
With their rhetoric, our Democratic opponents are very skilled at striking heroic poses. But with our Republican candidate we're going to offer America the real thing.
Of course a lot of the talking heads, so called pundits and the like are saying that there was some tense moments and that they were not buddy-buddy. And, of course Sen. McCain will not ask Mr. Romney to be his vice-president.
Firstly, what were they supposed to do, hold each other in an embrace and give each other a kiss? Look, Mr. Romney got beat and already withdrew. It was a matter of time before he would endorse Sen. McCain. And, release his delagates. I think that was enough and his praise of Sen. McCain was equalled with praise from Sen. McCain. I do not need to read body language and all that psychobabble. These two would make a great ticket.
I also think that Sen. McCain was correct in realizing that Mr. Romney made him a better candidate, being aggressive with Mr. Romney, of course a little too much, but nonetheless, a better candidate. The fact is that Mr. Romney was the only Republican to take on Sen. McCain by name and on issues and the senator had to defend them. That is what candidates are suppose to do.
The reality is that Mr. Romney knew when to fold 'em and did it was class and grace. And did the same in fully endorsing Sen. McCain.
Too bad the Rev. Mike has not got the memo yet.
