At a Romney rally in South Carolina, the GOP frontrunner’s new surrogate, John McCain, urged the crowd to show up and help “Landslide Mitt” eke out a win in South Carolina, even as he played down Romney’s expectations in New Hampshire.

“He’s gonna do well in New Hampshire,” McCain told the crowd. “Not as good as the polls show. They’re gonna close up some.”

However, whatever the showing, he urged the crowd to do all they could to help get Romney supporters to the polls in South Carolina.

“It’s gonna be v close in South Carolina,” he said. “But if he wins here he will be the next president of the United States.”
