Santorum Wins in Kansas, Romney Takes Wyoming 
----------------------------------------------



In campaign news, Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney split a number of
weekend caucuses. Santorum easily won in Kansas while Romney won in
Wyoming. Romney also won delegates in Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands
and the U.S. Virgin Islands. On Tuesday, voters head to the polls in
Alabama and Mississippi — the states are seen as must-wins for
former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. On Sunday, Santorum urged Gingrich
to step aside.

Rick Santorum: "The speaker can stay in as long as he wants, but I think
the better opportunity to make sure that we nominate a conservative is
to give us an opportunity to go head-to-head with Gov. Romney at some
point and hopefully that will occur sooner rather than later."
