Right On The Right

Mitt Romney and John McCain weren't exactly the best of friends throughout the Republican Primary, but they make great allies now. With the goal in mind of defeating Barack or Hillary in November, they're uniting to raise money and kick ass. Via Ed Morrissey, here's the story:

In a show of Republican unity, one-time bitter foes John McCain and Mitt Romney raised money and campaigned together Thursday for a single goal — getting McCain elected president.

“We are united. Now our job is to energize our party,” the Arizona senator said in an airport hangar, flanked by Romney and Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr., an early McCain supporter. Both have been mentioned as potential vice presidential picks, and McCain praised each.

Romney lauded McCain and promised to do all he can to help, saying: “He is a man who is proven and tested” and without question the right man to be president. …
On the flight, there seemed to be little residual acrimony between the former rivals.

They sat next to each other and ate turkey sandwiches. They laughed and talked during the hourlong flight, and were complimentary of each other when talking to reporters traveling with McCain.

First off, I'm willing to bet that relations between John McCain and Mitt Romney are warmer than relations between the two remaining Dems. Second, I love to picture a McCain/Romney ticket, and I think Mitt would be a great articulate spokesman on economic issues. It's nice to see these two leaders getting along.
