Did Romney really say that McCain would lose to Obama?

Question

Is this a true quote or an internet rumor?

"I frankly don't think that Senator McCain, despite his service and his length of experience, that that's going to be able to stand up to the message that Barack Obama has brought forward," said Mitt Romney.

Answer 1

Yes. And Romney is right.

Answer 2

Several times......watch for the ads if McCain is stupid enough to pick Romney as VP.

Answer 3

It seems to be true. Looks like Romney said it when he was still competing against McCain in the primaries. I agree with him though, I don't think McCain will win.

Answer 4

I have to say that I hope it is a true quote and that it also will come true.  McCain is running such dirty ads it is unbelievable:  he was the one who promised not to do so, and now he runs horrible ads against Obama.  I give Obama credit for not leashing out the same way and for defending his honor of being a POW.  If things were the other way around, McCain would not do that, he would try to shred all of his opponents honor to pieces, he already had something on the internet, trying to portray Obama as the anti-christ, every little bit that doesn't fit into a scheme is called an anti-american statement, his ad about the Obama financial plan is outright ridicoulous---I am truly hoping that the man(McCain) will not be elected---not with this kind of behavior....if I had only McCain and another republican as a choice, I rather would not vote then vote for McCain.....

Answer 5

No, it is true.

Answer 6

No, its just more lib-lies.
