Republican presidential candidate, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney

We long have known that President Barack Obama was going to be running for a second term as president of our United States this year.

But we have been wondering who the Republicans' presidential nominee would be.

Will Republicans nominate Mitt Romney -- or Rick Santorum, or Newt Gingrich, or somebody else?

Well, the suspense apparently is over: The math of GOP national delegate counts indicates that Romney is going to be the Republican presidential nominee.

There are still GOP primary elections ahead in 19 states. But it appears that Romney will have enough Republican National Convention delegates to make him the Republican presidential nominee -- although Santorum says he's still running.

Are you excited, encouraged, dismayed, or do you have some other reaction?

Do you believe Obama or Romney will provide the high quality of character, intelligence, judgment and inspiration in domestic policy, foreign policy and leadership in general that we need in our beloved United States for the next four years?
