Romney Sweeps Three States, Sets Sights On Obama

Republican presidential frontrunner Mitt Romney made a clean sweep today as he comfortably won the primaries in Wisconsin, Maryland and Washington DC, tightening his grip on the party’s nomination.

Romney’s win in all the three Republican primaries put him past the half way mark to the 1,144 delegates needed to clinch the party’s nomination to challenge incumbent Barack Obama during the November presidential elections.

“Thank you, Wisconsin! And Maryland! And Washington, DC! We have won a great victory tonight in our campaign to restore the promise of America,” 65-year-old Romney said in his victory speech in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
