Jan 4, 2012, 19:03 GMT
Washington - Senator John McCain, the Republican who lost the 2008 presidential election to Barack Obama, Wednesday threw his considerable political weight behind Mitt Romney in the Republican scramble for the 2012 nomination.
McCain appeared with a beaming Romney in New Hampshire, where the next primary battle in the selection process will take place Tuesday. Romney, 64, flew immediately to New Hampshire after securing a narrow win in the western state of Iowa on Tuesday.
'I'm here to make sure that we make Mitt Romney the next president of the United States of America, and New Hampshire is the state that will catapult him on to victory,' McClain declared.
McCain, who beat out Romney for the 2008 Republican nod, attacked Obama for failing to turn around the economy and for allowing lapses in the nation's security. 'We are believed around the world to be weak ... That is not the case. America's greatest days are still ahead of us,' McCain said.
