Just two days after the first votes in the race to pick a Republican presidential nominee, Sen. John McCain says it's time to wrap things up.

McCain, who endorsed Mitt Romney to be the GOP nominee a day earlier, says Republicans need to "get this thing done with as quickly as possible and get into the main event."

The Arizona senator, speaking Thursday on CBS' "The Early Show," says Republicans need to focus on beating President Barack Obama.

McCain and Romney were rivals for the GOP nomination in 2008. That time, it was McCain who came away with the nomination, only to lose the presidency to Obama.

Taking advice from John McCain on how to beat Barack Obama is like taking voice lessons from Roseanne Barr.

Hey, Juan, the GOP settled for you in ‘08. How did that work out, you pompous ass?

For those who don't remember, here is Roseanne singing the National Anthem in 1990.

Haste makes waste!!!

Now we know what motivates the GOP elites - expediency!!!

Now we know why Newt got in trouble - he wanted to do it RIGHT!!!

Now we know for certainty that it’s ‘ROMNEY’S TURN’.

You will note that McCain did not say ‘The voters’ should settle on Romney - BUT THE GOP!!!!!!

LOL. If we took John’s advice back in 2008, Giuliani would have been the nominee (quite frankly, I would have been happier with Giuliani than McCain back then).

I laughed when I heard him “come out” for Romney. I immediately wondered what Romney and his people were “really” thinking; even though I am sure Romney has great respect for the man; and McCain will be a gift that keeps on giving, thanks to the sneaky media, as well becoming fodder for Late Night Talk show hosts. It becomes all deja vu, but with thoughts of Palin thrown in-many would like to forget how that All turned out.

Yup, the GOP settled on Romney months if not years ago.

McCain doesn't grasp the meaninglessness of his existence today. It also tells you how freaking stupid Romney is for WANTING his endorsement.

Yea, he is making the same argument for Romney that he made for himself in 2008. But once into the "main event" in 2008, McCain stayed in his corner and yelled at anyone who tried to take Obama on.

I think they are more sinister than that. Simple opportunists would have ridden the Tea Party, not subverted it.

“McCain says GOP should settle quickly on Romney”

McCain should retire before he embarasses himself further.
