john mccain clinched the nomination in texas as well. this is the readily evident milestone you can see coming from a long way off. given they knew this was going to happen, how did the romney campaign plan for it. how did they plan to mark this big day? how did they plan this win that locked up the nomination for their candidate? they arranged for him to be in las vegas for some reason. he was in las vegas meeting with sheldon adelson. the world's 14th richest man and the person who has given more money this campaign cycle than anybody else in american politics. he was the one that almost single handedly funded the newt gingrich campaign. he's said he's happy to spend 100 million bucks this year. importantly, he has been lukewarm so far on whether he's going to spend that sort of money on mitt romney specifically. when conservatives were trying to decide on newt gingrich or rick santorum as the alternative to mr. romney. when conservatives were wondering if one should be pressured to drop out in order to give conservatives a better shot
