WASHINGTON – Mitt Romney says he’s honored and humbled to become the Republican Party’s 2012 presidential nominee — and he’s expressing confidence in his chances of winning the White House this fall.
The former Massachusetts governor clinched the party nod Tuesday night with a Texas primary victory.

In a post-victory statement, he claims the party has come together after a divisive primary with one goal. He says that’s putting what he calls the countries’ failures of the last three-plus years in the past. He also says he’s mindful of the challenges that lie ahead. But he also says he and the country will settle for nothing less than making America prosperous and filled with jobs.
Romney must now fire up conservatives who still doubt him while persuading swing voters that he can do a better job fixing the nation’s struggling economy than Obama. In Obama, he will face a well-funded candidate with a proven campaign team in an election that will be heavily influenced by the economy.
( Billy’s Thoughts – It is time for all of us on the right to get behind Romney. Yes we need to call him out when he doesn’t stand with us but none of us should stay home next November unless we want four more years of Obama.)
