In a surprising change in the race for the Republican candidacy, Rick Santorum won the Minnesota, Missouri and Colorado caucuses. In an unsurprising continuation of lacking coverage, Philly.com did little reporting on Tuesday night.
Most news from the elections that Philly.com did report came from the AP wire. However, Philly.com did tweet some updates.
The Missouri win means virtually nothing, as it will not give Santorum any delegates. The wins in the other two states, however, means Santorum now has 70 delegates. Santorum was overjoyed during a speech to supporters in St. Joseph, Mo., saying "Conservatism is alive and well in Missouri and Minnesota!"
These are the first wins for Santorum since he narrowly won the Iowa caucus, a decision made after-the-fact. Mitt Romney, the Republican front-runner, was dropped to third in Minnesota, raising questions about his campaign. While running in 2008, Romney won both Minnesota and Colorado.
Undoubtedly, these wins mean for a much more intense race between the four candidates as the campaign continues.
