It's Official! - Texas voters head to the polls on May 30 and Mitt Romney needs just half of the state's 155 delegates to finally clinch the nomination. The victory will fend off a challenger at the Republican National Convention in August and means he is now "bullet-proof," said GOP strategist Ron Bonjean and can begin to focus on convention speakers and a policy platform, Reuters reports.

What Happens in Vegas ... - Business mogul and born-again birther Donald Trump joins GOP presidential nominee in Las Vegas on for a glitzy May 30 fundraiser at that aims to raise $2 million dollars. Trump last re-ignited the debate over President Obama's birthplace and shows no signs of letting up, which could prove to become increasingly embarrassing for the former Massachusetts governor.

You're Fired--Or Should Be - President Obama's latest campaign video uses his 2008 opponent Sen. John McCain to attack his 2012 Republican rival's association with Donald Trump and the entrepreneur's birtherism. The video highlights events at which McCain denounced claims from supporters that Obama was a Muslim or not born in the U.S.A. and asks, "Why won't Mitt Romney do the same?" Romney campaign spokeswoman Andrea Saul told Yahoo News that Romney believes that Obama is born in the U.S.(Photo: Courtesy CNN/Obama For America)

Mean Green - Team Romney is out with a new video that goes after Obama's handling of the economy by targeting its support for a $535 billion, government-backed loan for the now-bankrupt solar company Solyndra and loans to other green energy firms. "Obama is giving taxpayer money to big donors. And then watching them lose it," the ad says. It is in part a response to President Obama's recent attacks on Romney's tenure at the private equity firm Bain Capital, during which the president contends Romney cut more jobs than he created.(Photo: Courtesy Romney For America)
