Santorum wins Kansas caucuses; Romney touts delegate gains
(CNN) - Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum cruised to victory in Saturday's Kansas caucuses, gathering momentum for two upcoming Southern primaries. But top rival Mitt Romney's campaign said the candidate won more delegates over the weekend, with the help of three other races and updated results in one state.
Santorum's victory in Kansas - which his top rivals essentially ceded - came on the heels of his three victories on Super Tuesday. His campaign said tea party loyalists and conservatives continue to rally around him.

Willard intelligent,are you kidding.lmao
Romney won only Lane county by 7 votes but he is a front runner give me break
There is a huge difference between the winner of Kansas caucus (Santorum) and the so-called front-runner (Romney). This kind of results should worry GOP. Incase Romney is the nominee, people should not be surprised he might lose red states come the fall. If people are not willing to support him now, what will motivate them to do so in Nov!
Well, Santorum won Kansas..................shame on them! Romney needs to be the focus for the GOP ; thus, Santorum needs to drop out and quit wasting everyone's time and money. If Santorum wins the primary, Obama wins! Simple math!!!
@ Jeff....
sorry to break it to you but it's NOT the liberals that are concerned about Romney it appears to be the far right wing conservative base of your party that is. Plus if you really want to see a dismal record you should look at Newt's infomercial "When Mitt Romney came to town" one GOPer slamming another one breaking Reagan's famous 11th commandment.
I find it impossible to understand how any educated and intelligent women could possibly support Rick Santorum. His idea of a life for women is in the kitchen, uneducated, barefoot and pregnant. He lost his senate seat in Pennsylvania by a huge margin. This man must never be in a position to determine policy that relates to women.
Ssntorum, get away from Louisiana and Illinois. We don't want them there. We like Romney better.
Jeff,
Every unelectable Republican takes turns stopping Romney. Democrats want to take the election seriously, but if Romney is the best Republicans can do, Obama should start planning for his second term.
"If people are not willing to support him now, what will motivate them to do so in Nov!"
They will be "motivated" by the usual GOBP fear, lies, hate and propaganda along with lots of hints about the color of the candidates.
Regardless of which GOP candidate is pictured, the background crowd is over whelming white.
It is apparent who the GOP wants to "take back their country" from now.
Really? We're worried about what Kansas thinks?
Romney is a very smart man with business sense, Santorium is a broke candidate go figure , he tells the Bible Belt what they want to hear............why doesn't he have money? Vote Romney b/c he does know how to make it.......Will get this USA out of dept.
Pope Rick.
Anybody want a theocracy?
Rick won the state and lost ground in the delegate race today . . . . seems to be a trend this week for him.
None of these four idiots are worth my time.........................
"Vote Romney b/c he does know how to make it.......Will get this USA out of dept."
More ridiculous LSD talking points manure with no basis in reality. Rmoney's tax plan will INCREASE the debt while rewarding his psychopathic 1% buddies with even MORE unfunded tax cuts. Truth: President Obama's plan reduces the debt, Rmoney's does not. And why is Rmoney pandering only to the 1% rather than the three quarters of Americans who want a millionaire tax?
Santorum wins Kansas and Mitt Romney takes credit. Typical right-wing talking point nonsense. No wonder the GOPers primary season might not produce a clear winner come convention time in Tampa.
Rick Santorum is filled with hate and internal conflicts. He is dangerous. Beware voters who feel that this man is worthy of public office.
