McCain in Town Thursday for Romney

U.S. Sen. John McCain will appear with Mitt Romney on the campaign trail in Charleston on Thursday.

McCain, the 2008 Republican nominee who lost to President Barack Obama, endorsed Romney on Wednesday, a day after the former Massachusetts governor squeaked out a win in Tuesday's Iowa Caucuses.

McCain and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley will campaign with Romney over three days this week.

Romney will hold two rallies in South Carolina this week, the first on Thursday at 3:45 p.m. at Charles Towne Landing in West Ashley and the second at 8:05 a.m. in Conway at the Peanut Warehouse.

McCain and Haley will follow Romney to New Hampshire for appearances on Friday and Saturday in advance of a Saturday debate in New Hampshire.

Romney holds a comfortable lead in New Hampshire, and McCain's endorsement and appearance there may help. He won the state in 2008 and where he remains popular, according to the Associated Press.
