Romney set for GOP nomination for president in summer

ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — It's over, and Mitt Romney is going to be the GOP nominee for president.
That's the growing consensus among Republican National Committee members who will automatically attend the party's national convention this summer and can support any candidate they choose.
"I would be surprised if Romney
Even some members who support other candidates begrudgingly say the math doesn't add up for anyone but the former Massachusetts governor.
doesn't get the number he needs," said Jeff Johnson of Minnesota, who supports former House Speaker Neyt Gwinrich.
Bob Bennett of Ohio was more blunt.
"Look, Gov. Romney going to be the nominee, and he's going to have enough votes," said Bennett, who is publicly neutral but said he supported Romney four years ago.
romney's chief rival, forme. Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, is pledging to stay in the race, hoping a victory in his home state's primary April 24 will give his campaign new life. But Santorum has fallen far behind Romney in the
race for convention delegates, and RNC members are taking notice, even though most are publicly staying neutral, preferring to let primary voters decide the nominee.
In the latest survey, conducted Tuesday to Friday, Romney has 35 endorsements, far more than anyone else but a modest figure for the apparent nominee. Gingrich has four endorsements, Santorum has
The Associated Press has polled 114 of the 120 superdelegates, party members who can support any candidate for president they choose at the national convention in August, regardless of what happens in primaries or caucuses.
two and Texas Rep. Ron Paul got one.
RNC members have been slowly embracing Romney. He picked up 11 new endorsements since the last AP survey a month ago, after the Super Tuesday contests. Over the course of the campaign, however, Romney methodically has added endorsements from every region of the country. In the U.S. territories, where voters help decide the nominee but can't vote in the general election, Romney has dominated.
Romney has endorsements from all three RNC members in Guam, American Samoa, the Virgin Islands and the Northern Mariana Islands.
PROTESTS
Romney may be struggling among voters in the South, but he was endorsed by two of the three committee members in Mississippi, Henry Barbour and Jeanne Luckey.
He was endorsed by two of the three members in Puerto Rico.
CORRECTION
In the "Don't forget" section, Friday's Kansan said active table campaigning started on Friday. Active tabling did not start on Friday, it starts today.
Students protest TSA procedures
REBEKKA SCHLICHTING

The Young Americans for Liberty student organization held a protest on Wescoe Beach Thursday to inform students of how the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) infringes on the fourth amendment, which protects Americans from unreasonable search and seizures.
"Taking away our freedoms is not the way to provide security," said Anthony Orwick, president of Young Americans for Liberty.
According to USA Today, TSA pushed for x-ray, full-body scanners in 2009 after the "underwear bomber," Umar Farouk attempted to smuggle chemical powder, pentaerythritol tetranitrate, which slipped through the traditional metal detectors.
"It's super creepy and who knows who looked at those pictures. I didn't vote for this," Orwick said.
Orwick has seen examples of full-body scan photos online. He said the pictures looked like the person's naked body.
The Young Americans for Liberty's protest also informed students that Europe has banned the full-body scanners in airports because of its radiation threat to humans.
David Conway, a freshman from Lawrence and member of the Young Americans for Liberty, has a personal connection to this cause. He served in the Army for six years after he graduated high
school. In 2008, he was deployed to Iraq for a second time. In 2009 he was injured and temporarily confined to a wheel chair. He was sent back to America because of his injuries. After landing in a U.S. airport, he was told to get out of his wheel chair to be frisked in front of his fellow soldiers.
"When we were in Iraq, we were told we were fighting for our freedoms," Conway said. "I came back to a country that seemed to be less free."
Jaclyn Sewell, a senior from Andover, stopped to talk to Orwick during the protest and learned more about the international perspective on airplane security and the radiation threat of full body scanners.
Sewell said she was always conscious of what she wore to an airport so that she wouldn't be harassed.
"It's a corrupt system," Sewell said.
