Romney endorsed McCain this afternoon. Here’s the article from CNN Politics: Sources: Romney to endorse McCain for GOP nomination. Romney asked his delegates to get behind McCain. If they all do: McCain will only need 78 more to get the nomination. So we are getting close to the end for the Republicans I think.
So, I think this one is wrapped up for McCain, Congratulations.
Super Tuesday is gone. No one got what they wanted. No one did that poorly. This race will continue. Here are the Delegate Numbers up to today.

I will be updating as I get information.
I will have a post-game with a final delegate count either Wed or Thurs.
