前麻萨诸塞州州长罗姆尼在美国共和党总统候选人提名竞争中获胜。
  
美国媒体预测,罗姆尼将在德克萨斯州共和党初选中大获全胜。德克萨斯州初选涉及150张选举人票。罗姆尼在德克萨斯州初选中获胜后,将确保获得本党总统候选人提名所需的1144张选举人票。
  
共和党将于8月在佛罗里达州的坦帕举行大会,正式确定提名罗姆尼为本党总统候选人,并确认罗姆尼的竞选搭档。
  
四年前,罗姆尼在共和党总统候选人提名竞争中败给麦凯恩。在本次竞争中,罗姆尼遇到金里奇、桑托勒姆、佩里等竞争者的挑战。他们质疑罗姆尼作为保守派人士的立场,认为他的立场过于温和。
  
最近的民调结果显示,罗姆尼和现任总统奥巴马的支持率几乎不相上下。

Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney has clinched the Republican presidential nomination.
  
U.S. news agencies project Romney will score a big win in the Texas primary, with more than 150 delegates at stake. This will give him more than the 1,144 delegates needed to secure the nomination. 
  
Republicans will hold their convention in Tampa, Florida in August to officially pledge their delegates to Romney and his eventual choice of a vice-presidential running mate. 
  
After losing the Republican race four years ago to John McCain, Romney overcame tough challenges from a raft of challengers, including Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, Rick Perry. They questioned Romney's credentials as a conservative, saying he is too moderate 。
  
Recent polls show him in a virtual tie with Mr. Obama。
