Romney Wins Michigan, Nevada

Apologies for being behind on the primary comments, but things have been busy busy busy here. Over the past week, Tavern Banter endorsed candidate, Mitt Romney, won Michigan's primary and Nevada's caucuses with South Carolina left to vote today. The wins, to go along with Wyoming, put Romney in the lead of states won thus far as well as delegates earned for the state's convention. Although Romney is not expected to win in South Carolina, the string of successes should be good for a bump in the polls, both nationally and in Florida, the last state to go before February 5th's "Super Tuesday" in which a ton of states are holding their primaries.
It's interesting watching the primaries from abroad as surprisingly they make the headlines even here in London. The Democratic race gets most of the attention and from what I can tell Hillary Clinton garners the most attention. Britioners I have spoken with at pubs and tourist attractions ask who I think is going to win and who I am supporting, though none think the GOP has a shot ("Bush's party?" they ask almost incredulously). Republicans need to work on this if we are to think a leader of our party can earn the respect of the citizenry abroad. While perhaps misinformed in some cases, the general consensus is Bush=bad thus a member of his party isn't one to be trusted. Unfortunate, I know, but interesting nonetheless.
Anyways, I'll try and give some more updates soon about my day to day activities like yesterday's visit to the British Museum (Rosetta Stone) and today's visit to the Globe Theater (Shakespeare).
