Rick Santorum won the Kansas caucuses in a rout yesterday in the latest contest in the grinding campaign for the Republican presidential nomination.
Returns from 61 percent of Kansas precincts showed Santorum with 53 percent, far outpacing Romney, who had 17 percent. Newt Gingrich had 16 percent and Ron Paul trailed with 13 percent. Forty delegates were at stake.
Another dozen delegates were allotted yesterday in caucuses in Wyoming, with most going to Romney.
