US Presidential Race Now Down To 2 Clear Choices

Mitt Romney all but secured the Republican nomination Tuesday after Rick Santorum suspended a tenacious shoestring campaign, paring down the U.S. presidential race to two clear choices.

A charismatic Democratic president, vulnerable to any sign that the tentative economic upswing might stall, faces off against a multimillionaire who has struggled to connect with his own party's conservatives but hopes his business background will convince voters he can put the country on a path to sturdier recovery.

Now Romney and President Barack Obama are free to focus on confronting each other, something they had already been increasingly doing in recent weeks as the former Massachusetts governor gradually emerged as his party's likely nominee.
