Texas Governor Rick Perry, who briefly threatened Mitt Romney’s frontrunner status last summer, has formally announced his endorsement for the former Massachusetts Governor.

Soon-to-be GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney captured all five East Coast states that held primaries on Tuesday, and delivered a major speech in which he accused President Obama of making America a worse place to live in than before he took office.

Today was supposed to be the Super Tuesday of the Northeast. 209 delegates are at stake. But the way candidates dropped like flies, it’s not. Mitt Romney will be the nominee no matter today’s outcomes.

As President Barack Obama courts the youth vote with a series of speeches on college campuses, Mitt Romney is similarly tailoring his message for young voters.

The Florida Senator’s office announced Monday that Rubio will be delivering a “major speech” on foreign policy this week.

Backpedaling from his pledge to stay in the race until the GOP convention in Tampa, Newt Gingrich told NBC Monday that he may “reassess” his campaign if he fails to perform well in Delaware this evening.

Republicans should not be worried. Romney isn’t officially the nominee and is already leading Obama in polls. Expect his numbers to rise after he secures the nomination.

As the general election season begins, President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are running neck and neck, according to a new CBS/New York Times poll.

“I haven’t supported any candidate at this point, so that’s really up to you,” Santorum, as quoted by the Los Angeles Times, said during a conference call with thousands of supporters.

Although he is the party’s de-facto nominee, a new Gallup poll shows that Mitt Romney faces an uphill battle courting the support of some key Republican demographics.
