Romney up 2 more.....

Source: AlJAZEERA

Mitt Romney has won the Maryland and Washington DC Republican primaries in the US, local TV networks projected, boosting his momentum as front-runner in the race for his party's presidential nomination.

Shortly after polls closed on Tuesday, the networks declared the former Massachusetts governor the victor over his Republican rivals Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul.

According to opinion polls, Romney had been projected to win all three primaries of Wisconsin, Washington DC and Maryland.

If he goes on to win Wisconsin - where polls have closed - it will give him a nearly unassailable lead to get his party’s ticket to face President Barack Obama in November.

All eyes are now on Wisconsin, a Midwestern heartland state where Santorum had hoped to break Romney's momentum. Romney came from behind in the last couple of weeks to surge to the top of the polls here.

A sweep of all three of Tuesday's contests would underscore Romney's growing strength and likely increase appeals from party leaders for Republicans to rally behind him, despite deep reservations among many conservatives suspicious about whether he is one of them.
