Mitt Romney’s endorsement of John McCain

The big political news Thursday was Mitt Romney’s endorsement of John McCain for the GOP nomination. Could this help McCain in Nevada, where Romney won the caucus in a landslide and had the only organization? A Rasmussen poll released Thursday showed McCain would be crushed by Barack Obama (50-38) in Nevada, while the presumptive GOP nominee would beat Hillary Clinton 49-40. Could the Romney nod make McCain more competitive against Obama here and lock up a victory in Nevada against Clinton? Ah, the question about those questions is: Are they relevant? McCain didn’t finish second here he finished third. Ron Paul was second. And something tells me he’s none too eager to embrace McCain.
