Mitt Romney Bullies Nebraska and Oregon

The Washington Post story with allegations of bullying as a high schooler didn't hurt Mitt Romney much in the Nebraska and Oregon primaries today, as he won both with more than 70% of the vote. Better to be the boy that bullied than the boy that was bullied if you are running for President of the United States.

I personally think the reported incident was one of hazing not bullying, and while some equate the two they are not the same. If I am right, Mitt Romney probably got hazed himself a year or two earlier in his high school career. Now if the Post had that story they might do some damage.

Here is the scoreboard:

# of delegates secured so far	NYT	WSJ	CNN	CBS	MSNBC	RCP
Mitt Romney	989	989	961	980	989	989
Rick Santorum	265	265	274	244	265	264
Newt Gingrich	130	130	145	124	130	141
Ron Paul	106	106	114	98	106	104
Jon Huntsman	1	1	0	2	0	0
Total	1491	1491	1494	1448	1490	1498
% of delegates secured so far
Mitt Romney	66%	66%	64%	68%	66%	66%
Rick Santorum	18%	18%	18%	17%	18%	18%
Newt Gingrich	9%	9%	10%	9%	9%	9%
Ron Paul	7%	7%	8%	7%	7%	7%
% of remaining needed to clinch:
Mitt Romney	19%	19%	23%	20%	19%	20%
Rick Santorum	111%	111%	110%	107%	110%	112%

Ron Paul	131%	131%	130%	125%	130%	132%

Ron Paul is still in the race, and could overtake Newt Gingrich for third place, in the delegate count at least. Oh, the days of March and April, with their talk of a brokered convention, they seem so long ago.
