Onetime foes McCain, Romney stand together

In a show of Republican unity, one-time foes John McCain and Mitt Romney raised money and campaigned together Thursday for a single goal -- getting McCain elected president. "We are united. Now our job is to energize our party," McCain said in Salt Lake City, flanked by Romney and Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. Both men are considered potential vice presidential picks, and while McCain praised each, he did not tip his hand on whether either was under consideration.

Barack Obama holds a 10-point advantage nationally over Hillary Rodham Clinton in the Democratic presidential race, according to a Pew Research Center poll released Thursday. Obama led with 49 percent to Clinton's 39 percent, little change from February's poll numbers. The poll also showed that 1 in 10 voters believes Barack Obama is Muslim, a mistaken impression that lingers across party lines. Just more than half of each group -- Republicans, Democrats and independents -- correctly identified him as Christian. The poll was conducted March 19-22 and interviewed 1,503 adults. It has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points for all adults and 4.5 percentage points for Democratic voters.
