Done Deal: Mitt Romney wins Republican presidential nomination
I remember very clearly March 4, 2008. That was the night that John McCain defeated Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul to win the nomination. Tonight, on May 29, 2012, Mitt Romney has defeated Ron Paul and has secured over the 1,144 delegates necessary to win the GOP presidential nomination.
I am honored that Americans across the country have given their support to my candidacy and I am humbled to have won enough delegates to become the Republican Party’s 2012 presidential nominee. Our party has come together with the goal of putting the failures of the last three and a half years behind us.
I have no illusions about the difficulties of the task before us. But whatever challenges lie ahead, we will settle for nothing less than getting America back on the path to full employment and prosperity. On November 6, I am confident that we will unite as a country and begin the hard work of fulfilling the American promise and restoring our country to greatness.

BREAKING NEWS
Skimming (aka live-tweeting) the Romney campaign’s education whitepaper tonight, I ran across this gem:
Research confirms that students assigned to more effective teachers learn more.
But seriously, folks. With that kind of insight, how can you NOT elect him?
To Whom It May Concern:
Erskine Bowles and I thoroughly enjoyed our time on the West Coast and received an excellent reception from folks — at least those who are using their heads and have given up using emotion, fear, guilt or racism to juice up their troops. Your little flyer entitled “Bowles! Simpson! Stop using the deficit as a phony excuse to gut our Social Security!” is one of the phoniest excuses for a “flyer” I have ever seen. You use the faces of young people, who are the ones who are going to get gutted while you continue to push out your blather and drivel. My suggestion to you — an honest one — read the damn report. The Moment of Truth — 67 pages, and then tell me if we’re not doing the right thing with Social Security. What a wretched group of seniors you must be to use the faces of the very people that we are trying to save, while the “greedy geezers” like you use them as a tool and a front for your nefarious bunch of crap. You must feel some sense of shame for shoveling out this bulls**t. Read the latest news from the Social Security Trustees. The Social Security System will now “hit the skids” in 2033 instead of 2036. If you can’t understand all of this you need a pane of glass in your naval so you can see out during the day! Read the report. Get back to me. My address is below.
If you don’t read the report, — as Ebenezer Scrooge said in the Christmas Carol, “Haunt me no longer!”
Best regards,
Alan Simpson
Congrats to our friends in Minnesota on winning 32 of 40 delegates to the national convention for Ron Paul!

Ron Paul Going Forward
Following the announcement yesterday that Ron Paul’s campaign would no longer be campaigning for the 45th presidency, supporters were sent an email this morning with information regarding the strategy going forward.
This quote best explains the strategy going into the national convention in Tampa:
We will head to Tampa with a solid group of delegates. Several hundred will be bound to Dr. Paul, and several hundred more, although bound to Governor Romney or other candidates, will be Ron Paul supporters.
Unfortunately, barring something very unforeseen, our delegate total will not be strong enough to win the nomination. Governor Romney is now within 200 delegates of securing the party’s nod. However, our delegates can still make a major impact at the National Convention and beyond.
All delegates will be able to vote on party rules and allow us to shape the process for future liberty candidates.
About me
I'm a high school student, a regional coordinator for a large political organization, and a former (and hopefully future) morning show host. Also, a conservative libertarian with a pompadour. That explains a lot.
