[0:00]" Good afternoon and thank you very much for joining us today particularly on on such short notice this isn't my first joint appearance with us Senator McCain but it promises to be one of the most pleasurable I am honored today to give my full support to senator McCain's candidacy for the presidency of the United States. I'm officially endorsing his candidacy. And today I'm asking my delegates to vote for Senator McCain at the convention. As all of you saw over the past year they should get pretty rough and a political campaign. And in the thick of the fight it's easy to lose cited -- on its finer qualities. But the truth of the matter is in the case of Senator McCain I could never quite do that. Even when the test was close and our disagreements were debated the caliber of the man was apparent. This is a man capable of leading our country at a dangerous hour. Senator McCain understands the war in the necessity of victory and the consequences of surrender. For him national security is not just another agenda item it is the abiding concern and responsibility of the nation. This is a man who tied his political fortunes to the fortunes of our country at a time of war. Such courage is not always rewarded in politics but it was this time and that's credit both -- the man. And the party he will lead in the election of 2008. There's a man who served and suffered for his country. John McCain's greatest test was long ago. But the loyalty and love of country and strike that part that saw him through. Are still the qualities that define him. With their rhetoric our democratic opponents are very skilled at striking heroic poses. It was a Republican nominating. We're going to offer America the real thing I'm happy to introduce someone who was well known to you a true American hero. The next president of the United States Senator John McCain."
[2:23]" I thank I thank governor Romney for endorsed his endorsement. More than that I thank him for. The hard intensive fine honorable campaign that he ran for the nomination of our party. And I think it is also it extremely important to me that not only do I have this endorsement but that we join together now. And travel this country not only on behalf of my candidacy. But I -- the half hour of our Republican candidates for the house for the Senate for governor. And all of the other races that we are are are committed to and I are so important to the future of this country. I'm grateful. But the fact that governor Romney has served the state of Massachusetts I'm grateful that he ran a hard tough. And frankly campaign that helped me become a better candidate not only in the primary but also in the general election. Governor Romney will help me. Draw the stark differences that exist between myself. And the things that he and I stand for and believe in and the democratic candidates whether we have higher taxes is that Democrats will want to impose or lower taxes. Whether there will be a government run health care system in America or whether families will make choices on health care whether that we will. We treat and declare. Withdrawal from Iraq. Or whether we will continue this search and now the political process that's moving forward there there will be stark differences I look forward to campaigning. With governor Romney and I and I look forward to his continued. Very important role of leadership and our party that he is it as exercise in the past and will exercise even more so in the future. Governor I mean I thank you we don't know -- Hart campaign primaries are tough. We know so hard campaign. Now we move forward now we move forward together for the good of our party in the nation and I am honored and very. Have governor Romney and the members of this team at my side and that so vital -- greens agree ingredient for victory in November"
