Valin Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Santorum Wins Kansas After picking up 18 delegates in less than 24 hours, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney failed Saturday night to keep his win streak alive. With 94% of precincts reporting, Rick Santorum has won the Kansas state caucuses, eclipsing Romney’s second place finish by double digits. Santorum, who campaigned vigorously in the Sunflower State, won the contest handily with 51 percent of the vote. (Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Texas Congressman Ron Paul garnered 14 and 13 percent, respectively). Needless to say, this was the most anticipated election of the weekend, and the former Pennsylvania Senator’s significant – albeit unsurprising – victory might pay some dividends before the far more consequential Alabama and Mississippi primaries next week. It’s also worth mentioning that Newt Gingrich – who didn’t campaign in Kansas – finished in third place with no less than 4,000 votes. This strikes me as somewhat significant considering his campaign spent very little money in the state, yet still attracted a plurality of voters. In other words, his bronze medal has one salient implication – namely, if Gingrich and Santorum continue to split the social conservative/tea party/Evangelical vote, Romney will inevitably win the Republican nomination. (Incidentally, to the chagrin of Team Santorum, Newt told reporters today he has no intentions of dropping out of the race.) (Snip) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
