McCain puts Romney supporter on endorsement list

MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Among the names on a list of veterans John McCain's campaign said were supporting his candidacy was the Hampton Town Chair for Mitt Romney's campaign.

In an interview, John Sangenario said he is still very much supporting Romney.

"I consider myself one of Romney's biggest supporters," Sangenario said. "I have been following him since he ran for the US Senate when we lived in Massachusetts."

Sangenario is the former Hampton Republican chairman. He figures he ended up on McCain's list after putting his name on a sign-up sheet at McCain's announcement speech in Portsmouth.

Indeed, a McCain spokeswoman said Sangenario put his name and contact information on a "Veterans sign-in sheet" at the event and then checked a box saying he would join the McCain Veteran's Coalition.
