WASHINGTON — Mitt Romney says he would be “honored” to be chosen as a running mate to the Republican presidential nominee.
Romney dropped out of the presidential race in February after falling behind in the delegate count in Super Tuesday contests to John McCain. McCain has now clinched enough delegates to become the nominee.
Romney’s comments came on Fox News Channel’s “Hannity & Colmes.” He recently has been suggested as a promising option for a McCain ticket by former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove and other political commentators.
Others say he would not help McCain attract evangelical voters or voters from the South — segments where both men more often lost to former candidate Mike Huckabee.
