After the five primaries of April 24, Mitt Romney said about President Obama: “Government is at the center of his vision. It dispenses benefits, borrows what it cannot take and consumes a greater and greater share of the economy”. The virtual GOP candidate pointed out that, with the health care law fully installed, the United States risks no longer “to be a free enterprise society.”

After wins in five primaries, Romney said: “The last few years have been the best that Barack Obama can do, but it's not the best America can do.”

After 43 GOP primaries and caucuses, the Republican frontrunner claimed: “... you have given me a great honor and solemn responsibility”. In short, Mitt Romney rightly claims to be the official Republican presidential candidate.

With Rick Santorum having conceded the nomination after the previous round two weeks ago, even the last undecided GOP member has to accept the unavoidable: Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

209 delegates were at stake on April 24. Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich still cling on to their illusionary presidential bids.

The Romney campaign team, the best on the GOP field, will have to face team Obama, the best oiled ever in the history of United States elections, flooded more in cash than all other candidates combined during the presidential run five years ago.
