Fmr Governor and former candidate for the GOP nomination,Mitt Romney has official endorsed John McCain to be the Republican nominee for the Presidential elections later this year. McCain who has 843 delegates already according to BBC estimates will be incredibly boosted by this decision and Romney's call for his 280 delegates to back John McCain which is already just a 347 delegates away from the 1191 needed to get the nomination.
Romney’s announcement gives both McCain and the GOP a precious item against the Democrats: time; time for McCain to try to unite the party probably via Romney or Huckabee as the Vice Presidential nominee in order to make sure the right are satisfied to some degree alongside a promise to serve just one term and aid a right wing candidate in 2012. It also gives the GOP time not just to unify, but to work out how to campaign effectively against a rejuvenated Democratic Party who could be deciding for months yet whilst the GOP are planning and plotting how to burst their dreams.
As I said in my previous post this could be the key day in the election, but all is still to play for in both parties, but for different reasons as for the Democrats it is a choice between two candidates, the GOP on the other hand are divided on the future direction of the party.
