GENEVA, SWITZERLAND – The US presidential race now has two unofficially official candidates, with President Barack Obama facing off against Republican Mitt Romney, who won the Texas primary Tuesday 29 May. The win gives him the necessary 1,14 delegates to become the candidate, but he won’t be officially nominated until the Republican convention in Florida in August.
NPR/AP reports that “The former Massachusetts governor has reached the nomination milestone with a steady message of concern about the U.S. economy, a campaign organization that dwarfed those of his Republican foes and a fundraising operation second only to that of Obama, his Democratic opponent in the general election.”
