Romney: McCain Is Like Clinton, Obama On Some Issues
GLEN ELLYN, ILL. -- In an effort to build upon the anti-John McCain sentiment that exists in some conservative circles, Mitt Romney compared McCain to the two contenders for the Democratic nomination at a press conference this afternoon.
"I was impressed that yesterday Barack Obama said that Sen. McCain's position on illegal immigration was virtually indistinguishable from his," Romney said. "I think it does make sense to have a candidate representing our party whose positions are distinctly different from the Democratic potential nominees. Mine are, and I'm proud of that."
Romney later took his criticism a step further, saying that although he stands with McCain on a number of issues, the Arizona senator sides with Hillary Clinton on several other important matters.
"He's virtually indistinguishable from Hillary Clinton or Obama on a number of major issues our country faces," Romney said.
