ALBANY (AP) - Mitt Romney has a chance to substantially boost his delegate tally when New York Republicans vote in the state’s presidential primary Tuesday.
New York has 95 delegates, the most of any of the five East Coast states holding primaries Tuesday. Romney is looking to add to his wide lead over Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul in the nomination race for the 1,144 delegates. Romney’s closest competitor, Rick Santorum, has stopped campaigning.
Polls have shown Romney with a commanding lead in New York, which doles out its delegates proportionately.
