With the road unencumbered with opponents, Belmont's Mitt Romney drove through Nebraska and Oregon to win the state's Republican presidential primary Tuesday by more than 60 percentage points over his closest challengers. Romney did not campaign in the states other than a rally last week in Omaha and did not issue any comments on winning, according to Politico. In fact, the big news in Nebraska was the upset win by part-time cow poke and State Sen. Deb Fischer to become the Republican candidate for US Senate.

Watertown Republican Town Committee chief will take on Brownsberger in general election.
Republican Steve Aylward of Watertown announced he has filed signatures to run for the Second Suffolk and Middlesex state senate seat, and he will challenge incumbent Will Brownsberger, a Democrat from Belmont, in the general election. Aylward won the race for Repubican State Senate Committeeman in March, and he serves as chairman of the Watertown Republican Town Committee. He also is a former School Committee member. Aylward joins Brownsberger to officially announce a run for the state senate district that includes Watertown, Belmont and parts of Boson. Incumbent Brownsberger is running to retain the seat he won in a January special election. The speical election was called after Steven Tolman left the seat to become president of the AFL-…
Incumbent will run unopposed in the Sept. 6 Democrat primary.
It appears Belmont's Will Brownsberger will likely cruise to re-election to the State Senate this November after his chief Democrat rival decided to call it quits. Watertown's Robert McCarthy, who finished a strong third to Brownsberger in a special election primary in January, announced on Monday, April 30, that he will not be a candidate for State Senate in the newly-redistricted Second Suffolk and Middlesex district that incompasses Belmont, Watertown and sections of Arlington and Cambridge. Without another Democrat challenger on the horizon, Brownsberger is likely to be unopposed in the September 6 primary. He would then be favorite to win the general election in the heavily-Democrat district. “While undergoing intensive rehabilitation…

Candidate says NH commercial fishermen, other small businesses plagued by too much government regulation.
Flanked by commercial fishermen, and with a possible running mate behind him, Mitt Romney today accused President Obama of letting regulators "run amok." The presumptive GOP presidential nominee said regulators are "just multiplying like proverbial rabbits." “If I’m elected president, I am going to be a pro small business president and fight for the rights of small business,” the Belmont resident said. Romney said President Obama continues to hinder small business growth with the passage of national health care reform and too much federal regulation that raises the cost of running a business. Couple these things with President Obama’s energy policy that allows for less drilling for oil on federal lands and Romney said small businesses such…

My father taught me at a very young age to “do it right the first time, or else it’ll have to be done again.” He was talking about pulling weeds in our backyard vegetable garden, but all of my work since that time has been guided by the principles embodied in his words: • Prevention is the lowest cost solution • Attend to details • Work effectively as well as efficiently. Reliance on these principles allowed me to fulfill a commitment to both my community and country as a member of the US Air Force. I enlisted in 1997, graduated from the Defense Language Institute with a degree in Russian in 1999, and soon thereafter joined the 390th Intelligence Squadron on Kadena AB in Okinawa, Japan. For three and a half years I flew with…

In a sparsely-attended Presidential primary, voters gave the nod to former Massachusetts Governor who won Rhode Island on Apr. 24.
Mitt Romney looked certain to continue his march toward a showdown with President Barack Obama, leading Rhode Island in Tuesday’s Republican primary with 63 percent of the statewide vote with 96 percent of districts reporting as of 10:15 p.m., according to RI Secretary of State Ralph Mollis's election results web page. With most numbers in, Romney appeared headed for a sweep nationally, taking Delaware with 57 percent of the vote, Connecticut with 67 percent, Pennsylvania with 60 percent. Romney was leading New York with only 7 percent reporting as of late Tuesday night. There were 200 total delegates at stake in Tuesday’s votes in Rhode Island, Delaware, Connecticut, New York and Pennsylvania. Going into Tuesday, Romney held 698 total …

Romney chooses NH as venue to all but assure victory.
It's been three and a half months since Mitt Romney celebrated a much coveted first-in-the-nation primary victory in New Hampshire. Tonight, he chose the Granite State once again, this time, for all intents and purposes, to declare himself the winner in the GOP race to face President Obama in November's general election. He hasn't locked up the 1,144 delegates required for the nomination yet. And he spoke as the results of today's five primaries – in Connecticut, Delaware, New York, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island – were still trickling in, yet that didn't stop Romney from getting right to the point. “After 43 primaries and caucuses, many long days and more than a few long nights, I can say with confidence – and gratitude – that you have …
Five states will hold Republican contests with Belmont resident the clear frontrunner.
While the race is all but over, the Republican presidential field casts its eyes to five states with primaries and 222 delegates on the line. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is the clear frontrunner, but Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich remain in the race. Voters will go out to vote in New York, Connecticut, Delaware, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. Romney leads the field with 685 delegates, more than halfway to the 1,144 needed to wrap up the presidential nomination, according to The New York Times. The latest Quinnipiac poll has Romney leading in New York with 54 percent of those polled. Rick Santorum, who suspended his campaign April 10, was a distant second in the poll with 21 percent. Romney also leads in double digits in …
