After a long road, full of scrutiny and opposition, the primary election for the GOP Presidential nomination is now set. Former Massachusetts Governor, Willard Mitt Romney, has won the opportunity to face off against incumbent president, Barack Obama, for the office of President of the United States.
Romney beat out a field of contestants that included Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, former US Senator from Pennsylvania, Rick Santorum, and businessman Herman Cain to name a few. Gingrich, Santorum, and Cain each made surges in the polls to contend with Romney, who stayed consistently in the top of the race. However, each would eventually fall and suspend their campaign efforts.
Mitt Romney made a bid for the Republican nomination in 2008, but eventually lost to Senator John McCain. During this go around, Romney was a clear front runner through out. For the past several weeks, he has been addressed as the "presumptive Republican nominee" because of the lack of delegates won throughout the primaries. That title is no more, as Romney wrapped up the formal race with a win last night in Texas.
While character and personal issues will assuredly be a part of this campaign (what would a campaign by without character attacks on the opponent?), the real issues of the economy and jobs are what Romney has promised to address.
So, in the famous words of Michael Buffer, "Lets get ready to rumble!"
