In vote 20-12 news, the general election is well underway.

Mitt Romney has claimed the mantle of republican presidential nominee.  

Sweeping five primaries yesterday, the former Massachusetts governor left behind the GOP nomination battle and sharpened his attacks on President Obama.  

"Tonight is the beginning of the end of the disappointments of the obama years and the start of a new and better chapter that we will write together," Romney said. 

The president is in full campaign mode, taking his message last night to the younger viewers of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

Obama is also pushing Congress to extend current interest rates on student loans, which are set to double.
