Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney has now secured at least 88 of the 155 delegates at stake in the Texas Primary, bringing his secured delegate total to 1174, 30 more than necessary to win the majority of the delegated needed for the GOP nomination.
With 4% of Texas precincts now reporting, Romney has consistently maintained or increased a 60 point lead over his nearest competitor, Congressman Ron Paul.
In the contested race for the GOP nomination for U.S. Senate, David Dewhurst is holding a 48% to 31% lead over his nearest rival Ted Cruz in a nine person contest.

No, Dewhurst will win. He’s already almost there, he just needs a few Leppert votes.
But no one can tell me why Cruz is better. The whole campaign seems to have been focused on ... Cruz is a lawyer for the Chinese ... No,he’s not... Yes he is.
Dewhurst’s only fault that I can see is that he is an establishment Republican who has governed well and mostly focused on financial issues. Maybe Cruz is more conservative socially?
All I have heard this entire campaign is the china lawyer stuff.
Maybe the runoff will clarify some stuff. It’s a long way from Alaska to Texas and Sarah’s support doesn’t mean that much to me at this point.
Oh, please. We don’t care. It’s kinda like Obama taking the blacks for granted.
Texas is red and proud of it.
We don’t need no stinking phony thank yous.
Having someone who can beat Obama is thanks enough for us.
You people loved MurryMom. She was a liberal and rather clueless. She could easily be dismissed and made fun of.
What you can’t stand is a proven conservative like me... one whose posts go back 15 years and are all totally conservative. Someone who’s really been to tea party meetings, someone you can’t so easily dismiss.
Someone like me who sees your bluster and nonsense for what it is and who is proud to support Romney against Obama.
Blacks vote for blacks, Hispanics vote for Hispanics. You never noticed?
I’m not going to spend any time worrying about ROMNEY, at this point the Presidential race is meaningless to me.
Amen...but I love my country too much to leave it in the hands of Obama and his administration..I will be voting for the Republican nominee in November..
Sign up date means nothing by itself. Nothing at all. It’s past posting history that tells the real story.
I am not in Texas, but if Romney was the only presidential candidate on the ballot for the people of Texas, that reminds me of the old Soviet Union when Kruschev was the only one on the ballot. THANK YOU FOR SELECTING OUR CANDIDATE FOR US, AND RAMMING HIM DOWN OUR THROATS (Rove -”Let’s just stop this and put Romney in” - you know best, Rove), ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS!
Everyone but Perry was on the ballot in Texas..even Roemer.
I am from Texas. I voted in the Primary.
I’ll be voting for the Republican nominee..NO ONE tells me how to vote.
You're not only a liar, but a delusional moonbat. Your posts bear that out with your utterly disgusting pimping for Willard and other non-Conservatives like DewCrist. You get called out repeatedly and either play deaf & dumb and/or act indignant when you're exposed as the liberal fraud that you are. Have you no shame ? Of course not, if you did, you wouldn't be a liberal like your idol Willard.
When the Republicans nominate Conservatives, they have my vote. When they nominate Socialists, liars and frauds, they have my wholehearted opposition. Willard isn’t fit to serve as dogcatcher.
You’re making this far too complex.
I side with those Americans who chose to rebel against the King of England in pursuit of their freedom. You side with those who remained loyal to King George III, and who were content to remain his subjects.
The rest of the history lesson is extraneous. One either did, or did not, make a principled stand at that time.
When I called out another poster for being a “Loyalist”, I was referring to the fact that they appear to willing to lay aside whatever conservative principles they might have, in order to elect someone who sports an R on their blazer, but essentially plays for the other side.
That is all.
Romney is NOT a patriot. EVER.
He raises taxes. He lies.
He lies. He attacks conservatives.
He protects Obama.
He attacks conservatives.
Stop comparing PATRIOTS to the author of
RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE.

I dont side with anyone...
I was appalled when I found out my ancestors had been Loyalists...
until I studied up on exactly why they would be...
Besides their swore loyalty to England the country that saved their Huguenot family from dying in France..
But loyalists were the Conservatives of their day...
and many of them became Loyalists because they just wanted to farm and feed their children and were forced into choosing by rebels who attacked them and wouldnt let them be...
Like a Loyalist said when asked about the tyrant King George...
“Im not concerned about a tyrant three thousand miles away...
Im concerned about the three thousand tyrants just one mile away...”
Meanwhile, we’re in the fight together again...
just as our families were before the troubles...
Im right now not as concerned about the tyrant six hundred miles away in DC...
Im more concerned about the 600 tyrants one keystroke away on my computer...

You must be reading me wrong, friend. I've never compared that quisling liberal to any patriot, except by way of extreme differentiation.
WOOOOOOO
Windflier is not a RomneyBot
Far from it...
We were discussing the American Revolution...
We’re all on the same side for this war...
and war it is...
You've got class, Nana. Much appreciated.
Youre welcome
:)

when did that happen? Mittens has a chance. But something tells me he will blow it.
Also, even if it’s just a small part of the right wing base votes NOTA or 3rd party Mittens will loose.
I don’t want either of them to be president.
