Santorum ends Romney winning streak in Colorado and Minnesota
The Republican Party chairman in Colorado has declared Rick Santorum the winner in the state’s caucuses in the race for the Republican presidential nomination.
That was a stinging blow to front-runner Mitt Romney, who earlier in the night was defeated by Mr Santorum in political caucuses in Minnesota and in a non-binding primary in Missouri.
The victories were Mr Santorum’s first since his slim win in the Iowa causes early in January.
The outcome raises fresh questions about Mr Romney’s ability to attract conservative voters and undercuts Newt Gingrich’s claim that he is the chief alternative to Mr Romney.
