Santorum Wins in Louisiana

The AP reports Rick Santorum “is the winner of the Louisiana Republican presidential primary, defeating GOP front-runner Mitt Romney in yet another conservative Southern state.”

“The Louisiana victory was unlikely to change the overall dynamics of the race. Santorum still dramatically lags Romney — the former Massachusetts governor — in the hunt for delegate to the GOP’s summertime nominating convention. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich of Georgia was far behind in the Louisiana vote count.”

Politico: “While all of the candidates made stops here this week — including Newt
Gingrich, who stayed in Louisiana for a week — none stuck around to see
the votes get counted.”
