(CNN) – Some Republican politicians are skipping their party’s convention this year - but top McCain surrogate and GOP vice presidential contender Mitt Romney is heading to both.
A Romney representative confirmed Wednesday that he plans to crash the Democrats’ party in Denver next week.
“Governor Romney will speak to the press to set the record straight on John McCain and make the case for his election,” said a spokesman for the former Massachusetts governor.
Details are still being worked out - but contrary to reports, he will not be addressing a Republican “counter-rally.” It is more likely that he will hold a press conference accompanied by several other Republicans.
Romney was McCain’s most critical opponent during the Republican race for the nomination, but has since become a stalwart supporter. He is believed to rank highly on McCain’s vice presidential shortlist.
The Arizona senator is expected to name his choice for VP at an event in Ohio next Friday, the day after the Democratic convention ends.

Read the last paragraph. Romney was mcBush's worst critic. And now....He is his biggest supporter. Yay! These guys make me ill.
Stay away. Stop trying to still the spotlight
Who cares McCain cannot win
Hahahaha
Oh wow. What a loser. Any chance we could get Hillary to go to Minnesota?
And this is why the polls show today Obama leads by a scant percentage point. The Republicans are good at disruption. It's like having an itch that you can't reach. They're a joy to watch at work. God Bless the Party of Abraham Lincoln.
This guy is so arrogant.
Can´t help he reminds me at Goofy. His possible job – looking for the health status of McCain.
romney for obama vp
Maybe we need an arrogant and aggresive leader for a change. Yes we can. This is what our country needs is a strong leader.
The very idea that this guy will be in my city makes my skin crawl.
I think this is awful. Convention week is the one time each party get's to focus on themselves and tell the American people about their platform, and now this.
This man is shameful and I hope the Dems return the dastardly act.

Hey Mitt-
how about setting the record stratight on your own flip-flopping self?
Like how you magically became pro-life and anti-gay just a year before beginning your presidential campaign-
Oh- and who are you to criticize Barack's foreign policy experience when you only served four years as a state governor and have absolutely no other government experience, let alone foreign policy experience?
Oh, and by the way Mitt, I really wish you won the nomination, 'cause you would have been creamed.
Subject: The Lie Clock
A man died and went to heaven. As he stood in front of St. Peter at the
Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him.
He asked, "What are all those clocks?"
St. Peter answered, "Those are Lie-Clocks. Everyone on Earth has a
Lie-Clock. Every time you lie the hands on your clock will move."
"Oh," said the man, "whose clock is that?"
"That's Mother Teresa's. The hands have never moved, indicating that she
never told a lie."
"Incredible," said the man". And whose clock is that one?"
St. Peter responded, "That's Abraham Lincoln's clock. The hands have
moved twice, telling us that Abe told only two lies in his entire life."
"Where's President Bush's clock?" asked the man.
"Bush's clock is in Jesus' office.
He's using it as a ceiling fan.
Obama 08
This is why I want the Republicans to lose so badly. They are shameful. So now he going to crash the Democratic Convention. He's a snake.
If I were the party of the WORST PRESIDENT IN MODERN HISTORY, I'd go hide under a rock somewhere.
By the way have any of his sons enlisted in the service yet? Just wondering.
This guy really gives me a bad vibe everytime I see or hear about him. I agree with Phil "so arrogant"....
good.he can join the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse:bush/cheney/mccain/lieberman.i hope his hair breaks.
If Obama doesn't pick Hillary Clinton , then I support Mcain and Romney.
Sounds like the above Demon-Crats are scared. LOL You should be.
Don't worry, they'll be plenty of protesters crashing their party as well. Romney is a snake, and I can't wait until he's out of the national picture. Money couldn't buy him the presidency, let's see if it can buy him the VP slot.
How utterly funny!!
Go get 'em McCain!!!
Why?
GOV ROMNEY IS SUPER-INTELLIGENT; WILL DO A GOOD JOB IN WHATEVER HE DOES.
Come on McCain Pick the Mormon, please, please, please, I beg you pick the Mormon.
AFTER LOOSING HIS PRESIDENT NOMINATION, THIS MAN IS AN IDIOT FOR TALKING ABOUT ELECTION AND ABOUT A POSSIBLE VP POSITION WITH ANOTHER LOOSER.
DO NOT MORE FROM A LOOSER. LET HIM DO WHATEVER HE LIKES.
