Republican presidential front-runner John McCain courted the wary conservative wing of his party Friday after winning the endorsement of former bitter White House rival Mitt Romney. “He and I share the same principles, values and goals,” McCain said of the former Massachusetts governor who two weeks ago was accusing him of campaign dirty tricks.

“He ran a tough campaign. He got millions of votes in the Republican primaries. And I hope that his endorsement will convince many of those Republican voters to support my candidacy,” McCain told CNN television late Thursday.
