And the Marianas

I'm beginning to feel all tropical inside...and very happy to be seeing this support from American territories in the Pacific.  The Northern Marianas 9 delegates have been awarded to Romney by voters there as well...here is Mitt's press release on this win:

“The Northern Mariana Islands may be far away from the mainland, but one of the great things about our democracy is that every voice has a chance to be heard in selecting a presidential candidate. Now the voters of the Northern Mariana Islands—nearly 8,000 miles from Washington, D.C.—have spoken.  And what they’ve said today is that they want to bring change to their beautiful islands by bringing change to our nation’s capital.  My son Matt told me about his visit to Saipan and the warm reception he received, and I am honored and delighted to have the support of all nine of the CNMI’s delegates.”

Governor Benigno Fitial is the Republican party head in the Marianas and is quoted as saying:

“I encourage the hundreds of thousands of Pacific Islanders living in the Continental U.S. to follow our lead and please support Governor Mitt Romney in the coming months.”
