Romney edges Santorum with Super Tuesday wins
Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum traded victories in the much-vaunted Super Tuesday Republican primaries. Romney snatched a narrow victory in Ohio, and five other states. The former private equity executive told supporters in Massachusetts – where he once served as governor – that he will succeed in securing the nomination. “Tonight, we’re doing some counting. We are counting up the delegates for the convention — and it looks good — and we’re counting down the days until November and that looks even better,” he said. “We’re going to take your vote — a huge vote tonight in Massachusetts — and take that victory all the way to the White House”. Santorum netted victories in three states. He has branded himself as the ‘anti-Mitt’ candidate with his staunchly conservative views. He said his wins were “against the odds” and vowed to keep fighting on in a bid to secure the Republican nomination. Another ten primary or caucus contests will be held before the end of March.
