Romney Wins TX Primary, Clinches GOP Nom

Mitt Romney has clinched the Republican Presidential nomination with a win in the Lone Star State’s primary.

FOX News Radio’s Jeff Monosso reports:

Audio clip:

The votes are in in the Texas primary, and Mitt Romney passes 1,144 – the number of delegates needed to win the Republican Presidential nomination – almost one year after he entered the race for the White House.

Romney, touting his business experience at a rally Tuesday in Las Vegas.

(Romney) “We need to have Presidents who understand how this economy works; day-to-day, small business, medium-sized business, big business.  I do.  I want to use that experience to get us to work again.

Though the former Massachusetts Governor doesn’t become the official nominee until the end of August, when the Republicans rally at their convention in Tampa.

Romney thanked supporters in a tweet shortly after polls closed in Texas:

#1144. Thank You. Whatever challenges lie ahead, we will settle for nothing less than getting America back on the path to prosperity.

    Romney is the Republican nominee and now we must get behind him fully and push as hard as we can to support him.

    America has a clear choice. Elect a proven businessman who can lead America in areas of the Economy and creating jobs…..OR America can re-elect a do nothing President……..The choice is ours SO lets work hard to get Romney elected President on November 6, 2012…..I will vote for Romney as an Independent voter……..Because most Democrats and Liberals will vote for Obama and most Republicans will vote for Romney……So it will be the Independent voters like me that will elect our next President. I will vote for Romney………..
