Quote:CBS News) Nearly a year after announcing his presidential bid, CBS News estimates that Mitt Romney has earned the necessary delegates to clinch the Republican presidential nomination.

With 85 percent of the votes counted, CBS News projects that the former Massachusetts governor will win Tuesday's Texas' GOP primary, earning 70 percent of the vote and surpassing the 1,144 delegates needed to secure the nomination. Texas Rep. Ron Paul, who announced earlier this month that he would no longer be actively campaigning in the race, earned 11 percent.

CBS News has been tracking delegates throughout the primaries and caucuses, including interviews with Republican delegates across the country. The former Massachusetts governor has amassed more than a thousand delegates from these contests and CBS News has also confirmed that he has the support of 83 of the 123 delegates who are Republican National Committee members and are free to support who they choose.

According to CBS News estimates, Romney will have 1,198 delegates following his victory in Texas.

Hello, Jaxx! Caught your reply before signing off. You're so right - Benen will no doubt have to go to three or four webpages now for his weekly edition of Chronicling Mitt's Mendacity. I read a blurb that Romney's next topic is, you guessed it, the non-story of Solyndra. Get ready for Romney to take lying and playing people for fools to vast, heretofore publicly unseen levels.

I heard he already started the Solyndra crap today. This will get dirty, and I hope the Obama campaign comes back just as dirty and then some!!

Clad in his magic underwear, he will wield his mighty Sword of Banality to oust the interloping Lamanite from the people's holy office.

Just call him the Great White Dope.
