In a roll call of states Tuesday, New Jersey put Romney over the top, giving him the prize that eluded him four years ago. Romney is scheduled to accept his party’s nomination in a speech Thursday night.
Republican voters flirted with a carousel of GOP rivals before settling on Romney, who effectively clinched the nomination in May. All of Romney’s former GOP competitors have endorsed him, with the exception of Texas Rep. Ron Paul.
Paul did not have enough support to have his name placed in nomination, but he got votes in roll call
The vote was shockingly close! 1600 plus for Mr. Romney vs. about 100 for crazy old crank.
How can the absence of competitors make winning New Jersey a “prize”? Who else was New Jersey going to nominate? I guess they could have abstained.
Yes!! Now America can be saved by a mormon.
lets hope it will be president Romney very soon!!
