The former Massachusetts governor, the only candidate who actively campaigned in Texas, won 71 per cent of the vote, according to Fox News, CNN and NBC television.
US congressman from Texas Ron Paul won 10 per cent in his home state, Catholic conservative Rick Santorum seven per cent and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich five per cent, according to CNN.
In Texas 155 delegates were at stake — which added to Romney’s tally of 1,064 should take him well over the 1,144 nomination threshold.
Wild Thing’s comment………
Congratulations to Mitt and Ann Romney. I pray this will all get Obama OUT!!! God bless the Romney family and protect them from the Obama thug machine.
Well, now we have our candidate. Romney is far from being my ideal but I will support him. For me this election is strictly about dumping obama out of our White House. He has to go. My greatest hope right now is that conservatives will gain a solid control of Congress.
Tom, yes and I will too. I agree too Tom that my greatest hope is control of Congress.
