“WASHINGTON (AP) — Rick Santorum won the Kansas caucuses ina rout on Saturday and Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney showed strength in Wyoming, a weekend prelude to suddenly pivotal Southern showdowns in the week ahead. “Things have an amazing way of working out,” Santorum told supporters in Missouri, where he traced his campaign through a series of highs and lows. He called his showing in Kansas a “comfortable win” that would give him the vast majority of the 40 delegates at stake. Returns from 94 percent of the state’s precincts showed Santorum with 51 percent support, far outpacing Romney, who had 21 percent. Newt Gingrich had 14 percent and Ron Paul trailed with 13 percent. Santorum picked up at least 30 of the state’s 40 delegates at stake, cutting slightly into Romney’s overwhelming’s advantage.”
