Not all the results in the Republican primaries and caucuses went as expected, but all the candidates were losers, because all fell short of what they needed to accomplish.  Mitt Romney did the best overall, but he failed to win one in the south and close the door on Santorum.  Rick Santorum had a couple of impressive wins, but to put himself into the thick of the race, he needed to win Ohio.  Newt Gingrich won his home state, but he needed at least one more,  Of course, the biggest loser of all is Ron Paul who still has not won a single primary or caucus.<\/font><\/p>\n

Here are the latest results.  Only Alaska remains undecided.<\/font><\/p>\n
