Rick Santorum, the victor in Missouri and ColoradoRick Santorum scored a couple of victories in the Minnesota caucus and the Missouri primary, even though Missouri has no delegates. As of right now, Santorum's in a tight race with Romney in Colorado. Early poll results in Colorado showed Santorum with a commanding lead over Romney, but none of the major counties had reported yet. As of right now, we don't have official word of the results of the Colorado caucus. Santorum has had his best night thus far in the GOP primary. Ever since Santorum was belatedly declared the winner in Iowa, he hasn't won a caucus/primary until Tuesday evening. Just a few weeks ago it appeared GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich was making a resurgence when he surprisingly won South Carolina. Now his popularity has skidded in the polls. Gingrich wasn't on the ballot in Missouri but it doesn't make any difference because there's no delegates from that state.
With 83% of precincts reporting in Minnesota, Santorum was ahead with 45% with Ron Paul placing second with 27%. In Missouri, the primary is just a statewide straw poll, which will set the stage for the delegate-awarding caucuses a month from now. Rick Santorum won the straw poll with 55% of the vote, Romney had 25% of the vote, followed by Paul with 12%. Gingrich wasn't on the ballot. In Colorado with 51% of the precincts reporting, Romney was slightly ahead with 37% of the vote with Santorum right ahead with 35% of the vote. I will officially let you know the winner of the Colorado caucus as soon as the results are in. Click on the link above from FoxNews.com to read the latest story.
