Romney touted his endorsement by John McCain at a rally in Manchester Wednesday, and will hold two more rallies with the Senator before the weekend. On Fox News Thursday morning, Karl Rove questioned this strategy, via The Hill:
“I’m not certain I would’ve had McCain in an endorsement.
Look, I’ve been down this road once before. We came into the 2000 New Hampshire primary sort of emphasizing process — endorsements, nice venues. Not message. What is it that we were going to do.
And we got walloped by a guy who was spending time not worrying about endorsements, but was worried about his message of being a maverick.”
