Former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum caused a major setback to the 2012 US Presidential candidacy of Republican front-runner Mitt Romney by winning votes from Missouri, Minnesota and Colorado.
According to the Los Angeles Times:
Republican long shot Rick Santorum poked holes in Mitt Romney's aura of inevitability Tuesday night with a trio of upset victories that shifted the dynamic of the 2012 presidential contest.
The former Pennsylvania senator's wins in the Minnesota and Colorado caucuses and Missouri primary were setbacks for Romney, the national front-runner, who had been expected to cruise easily through a series of relatively minor February voter tests. He must now wait three weeks to regroup, when Arizona and Michigan hold what suddenly are shaping up as unexpectedly important primaries.
