GOP Presidential Primary

Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) on Wednesday sharply denied that he has plans to stage a coup at the Republican National Convention in August.

“That is not in my plan, that is against my plan, I don’t like that even being a suggestion,” Paul told CNN.

"I don't think there's going to be a lot of successful compromise," Mourdock said of the Senate. 

Rick Santorum defended his decision to announce his support for Mitt Romney in a late-night email, a move many derided as a lukewarm endorsement of the presumptive GOP nominee.

Mitt Romney won the West Virginia Republican presidential primary on Tuesday, pushing him closer to the 1,144 delegates he needs to clinch the Republican nomination.

There were 31 delegates at stake in the West Virginia primary, making it the smallest prize of the three states holding their primaries on Tuesday. Romney won all three.

Mitt Romney won the Republican presidential primary in North Carolina on Tuesday.

Romney did not face opposition for the Republican primary in the state, but North Carolina is expected to be a critical swing state in the general election. 

President Obama won North Carolina in 2008. The Democrats are also holding their national convention there in September. In a head-to-head match-up, the latest polls show Obama leading Romney in the state.

Mitt Romney is edging closer to officially clinching the GOP presidential nomination.

Mitt Romney said Monday that he deserves credit for the recovery of the auto industry, arguing President Obama essentially followed his advice on the auto bailout. That drew a sharp rebuke from the Obama campaign, which called Romney's comments "a new low in dishonesty, even for him."

"We both agree that President Obama must be defeated," said Santorum in an email to supporters Monday.

Rep. Ron Paul's (R-Texas) supporters elected the majority of delegates at the Maine Republican Convention, giving the GOP hopeful his first state victory.

Gingrich offered praise for Romney and said he should pick a young, rising star as running mate.
