Santorum wins Kansas Caucuses

Santorum continues to rack up southern states while Newt Gingrich continues to put himself over the greater good of the conservative movement.  

NY Times reports showing his strength among conservative voters in the heartland, Rick Santorum decisively won the Kansas caucuses on Saturday.

Mr. Santorum, the former senator from Pennsylvania had won a majority of the votes, was easily outpacing his rivals Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney and Ron Paul.

Clayton Barker, executive director of the Kansas Republican Party, called the state for Mr. Santorum.

But the victory comes with an asterisk: his rivals, Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich, largely bypassed the state, focusing on the greater stakes in Alabama and Mississippi, which hold primaries on Tuesday.

Still, Mr. Santorum extended his winning streak of Midwestern and Southern states with the help of evangelical Christians and other voters calling themselves �very conservative,� a streak that began in Iowa and included Tennessee and Oklahoma on Super Tuesday. He is expected to garner many of Kansas�s 40 delegates.
