Has Romney clinched it?....

We'll have to wait to find out what the cable news talking heads have to say about this, but maybe, just maybe, Romney may have sort of clinched the Republican nomination for president when he swept all 9 delegates recently at the GOP convention in Guam.

Guam, as you know, is a tiny island in the southwestern Pacific, it's a U.S. territory with a population of more than 175,000.

Anyway, the 215 Republicans on Guam who were eligible to vote enthusiastically picked Romney by a show of hands. Technically, the 9 delegates are uncommitted, but they promised to vote for him.

Now, I didn't see any pre-Guam convention polling results, and as far as I know neither Wolf Blitzer nor any of the other talking heads has mentioned this surging win for Romney, maybe some super PAC piled a lot of cash into ads on Guam television….I'm also not sure if Romney campaigned on the island. I don't think Santorum or Gingrich went there, and I don't know if the Tea Party operates that far west…

Still, this is the kind of momentum builder that can't go unnoticed, and frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if both Santorum and Gingrich drop out of the race after they hear about it….Ron Paul, I'm not so sure, he'll probably stay in at least until we hear the results sometime this weekend from the Northern Mariana Islands, where 9 more key delegates are up for grabs.

The GOP primary might be just about in the bag for Romney, it might be all over soon…

FLASH UPDATE:  8:25 am EST
Romney grabs 9 more delegates in Northern Mariana Islands GOP caucus.
Now it's definitely all over, Mitt's unstoppable, he's riding the surging wave from the western Pacific right on in to the GOP nominating convention, where are the cable news talking heads? I'm already desperate to hear some insightful commentary about this...
