WASHINGTON — John McCain effectively sealed the Repub- lican presidential nomination on Thursday as chief rival Mitt Romney suspended his faltering campaign. “I must now stand aside, for our party and our country,” Romney told conservatives. “If I fight on in my campaign, all the way to the convention, I would forestall the launch of a nation- al campaign and make it more like- ly that Senator (Hillary) Clinton or (Barak) Obama would win. And in this time of war, I simply cannot let my campaign, be a part of aiding a surrender to terror,” Romney told the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington. McCain and Romney spoke by phone after Romney’s speech, though no endorsement was requested nor offered, according to a Republican official with knowledge of the con- versation.
