Q: Story highlights Santorum wins 33 delegates in Kansas 
  
 Romney camp says it added more delegates to its total this weekend 
  
 Romney touts wins in three territories and updated Wyoming figures 
  
 Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum cruised to victory in Saturday's Kansas caucuses, gathering momentum for two upcoming Southern primaries. But top rival Mitt Romney's campaign said the candidate won more delegates over the weekend, with the help of three other races and updated results in one state. 
  
 Santorum's victory in Kansas -- which his top rivals essentially ceded -- came on the heels of his three victories on Super Tuesday. His campaign said tea party loyalists and conservatives continue to rally around him. 
  
 Santorum received 51% of the votes, according to a Kansas Republican Party initial count. Romney was second with 21%, followed by Newt Gingrich at 14% and Ron Paul at 13%. 
  
 Santorum picked up 33 delegates in the Jayhawk State; Romney won seven. 
  
 Campaigning in Springfield, Missouri, on Saturday afternoon, Santorum went after President Barack Obama. He criticized the president's stance on energy, health care, Iran and the debt. The Republican candidate also talked about entitlement programs. 
  
 "In the eyes of the president, America is a great country because government redistributes wealth," Santorum said.

 Romney and Gingrich abandoned plans to campaign in Kansas and instead focused on Tuesday primaries in Mississippi and Alabama. Paul campaigned in Kansas on Friday and Saturday. 
  
 According to a CNN estimate Saturday, Romney had 458 delegates, compared with 203 for Santorum, 118 for Gingrich and 66 for Paul. A candidate needs 1,144 delegates at the Republican convention this summer to secure the nomination to face Obama in November. 
  
 The Romney camp said it won more delegates than Santorum did, counting caucus gains in the Virgin Islands, Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands, plus a handful of delegates selected in Wyoming that CNN had estimated in February. 
  
 "In what was hyped as a big opportunity for Rick Santorum, he again fell short of making a dent in Mitt Romney's already large delegate lead," Romney press secretary Andrea Saul said in a statement. 
  
 Romney won the Northern Mariana Islands caucuses early Saturday, picking up nine delegates. He garnered 87% of the vote. 
  
 Romney received seven delegates in the Virgin Islands. Paul got one. Final results were not reported. 
  
 Late Friday, Romney won Guam's nine delegates in its caucuses there. 
  
 "I am grateful to have won all nine delegates in Guam," Romney said in a statement after the vote. "The people of Guam have always stood bravely for America and the values we hold dear."

 With question marks hovering over Santorum's chances in the two upcoming Southern primaries, any bragging rights he may claim from his Kansas win may be short-lived. 
  
 A fresh poll out in Mississippi showed Santorum running behind Gingrich and Romney. Alabama will be an equally important test of Santorum's appeal in the South. 
  
 Gingrich campaigned Saturday in Alabama, reiterating criticism of Obama over his energy policies. 
  
 The candidate and other Republicans complain the president is bowing to foreign oil suppliers such as Saudi Arabia and the environmental lobby by not fully exploiting U.S. oil reserves. 
  
 "The answer is energy independence for America," Gingrich said in Dothan. 
  
 Romney substantially increased his delegate lead on Super Tuesday but failed by most accounts to deliver a knockout blow. He squeezed out a razor-thin popular vote win in the bellwether state of Ohio while carrying his home state of Massachusetts, plus Idaho, Vermont, Virginia and Alaska. 
  
 Santorum won North Dakota, Oklahoma and Tennessee, while Gingrich cruised to victory in his home state of Georgia. ||||| Rick Santorum won the Kansas caucuses in a rout on Saturday and Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney countered in Wyoming, a weekend prelude to suddenly pivotal Southern primary 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. 
  
 Final returns in Kansas 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 33 of the state's 40 delegates at stake, cutting slightly into Romney's overwhelming's advantage. 
  
 In Wyoming, Romney won at least six of the 12 delegates at stake, Santorum three, Paul one. Uncommitted won one, and a final delegate remained to be allocated. 
  
 The day's events unfolded as the candidates pointed toward Tuesday's primaries in Alabama and Mississippi that loom as unexpectedly important in the race to pick an opponent to President Barack Obama in the fall. 
  
 Polls show a close race in both states, particularly Alabama, where Romney, Gingrich and Santorum all added to their television advertising overnight for the race's final days. 
  
 Gingrich, struggling for survival in the race, can ill afford a loss in either Mississippi or Alabama. Romney is seeking a Southern breakthrough to demonstrate an ability to win the support of evangelical voters. 
  
 For his part, Santorum hopes to knock Gingrich out of the race and finally emerge as Romney's sole challenger from the right. 
  
 The contests in Kansas and Wyoming left Romney with 453 delegates in the AP's count, more than all his rivals combined. Santorum had 217, while Gingrich had 107 and Paul had 47. 
  
 Romney's totals included 22 that he picked up in the Virgin Islands, Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands. 
  
 A candidate must win 1,144 to clinch the Republican presidential nomination at the national convention in Tampa next August. 
  
 Kansas and Wyoming caucuses had little in common except a shared date on the campaign calendar. 
  
 Romney made a stop in sparsely populated Wyoming last summer. 
  
 Kansas drew more attention from the White House hopefuls, but not much more, given its position midway between Super Tuesday and potentially pivotal primaries next Tuesday in Mississippi and Alabama. 
  
 Romney left Kansas to his rivals, while Gingrich scrubbed a scheduled campaign trip to concentrate on the South. 
  
 Paul and Santorum both campaigned in the state on Friday, and Gov. Sam Brownback appeared with each, without making an endorsement. 
  
 In Topeka, Paul told an audience of about 500 that Kansas should be a "fertile field" for his libertarian-leaning views but declined to say how many delegates he hoped to gain. 
  
 Santorum, who hopes to drive Gingrich from the race in the coming week, lashed out at Obama and Romney simultaneously in remarks in the Kansas capital city. 
  
 "We already have one president who doesn't tell the truth to the American people. We don't need another," he said. 
  
 The former Pennsylvania senator told reporters he was confident "that we can win Kansas on Saturday and come into Alabama and Mississippi, and this race should come down to two people." 
  
 An aide to Gingrich said earlier in the week that the former House speaker must win both Southern primaries to justify continuing in the campaign. 
  
 But Gingrich strongly suggested otherwise on Friday as polls showed a tight three-way contest in Alabama. 
  
 "I think there's a fair chance we'll win," he told The Associated Press about the contests in Alabama and Mississippi. "But I just want to set this to rest once and for all. We're going to Tampa." 
  
 Romney had no campaign appearances Saturday. The former Massachusetts governor won six of 10 Super Tuesday states earlier in the week, and hopes for a Southern breakthrough in Alabama on Tuesday after earlier losing South Carolina and Georgia to Gingrich.

A:
Rick Santorum whalloped Mitt Romney in the Kansas caucuses today, but Mitt struck back with a smaller victory in Wyoming. In Kansas, Santorum won 52% of the votes, Romney 21%, Newt Gingrich 14%, and Ron Paul 13%, CNN reports. "This is ... further evidence that conservatives and tea party loyalists are uniting behind Rick as the true, consistent conservative in this race," said a Santorum spokesperson. Romney and Gingrich didn't even campaign in Kansas, where evangelicals like Santorum's take on issues such as abortion rights and same-sex marriage. But because the state divvies up its 40 delegates proportionally, Santorum won only 33 and Romney took seven. In Wyoming, Romney picked up seven of 12 delegates, Santorum took three, Paul one, and one was uncommitted, the AP reports. Romney snagged an additional seven delegates and Paul one more in the Virgin Islands. By AP's count, Romney now has 454 delegates, Santorum 217, Gingrich 107, and Paul 47. A candidate needs 1,144 to clinch the Republican nomination. Next up for the GOP: key southern primaries in Alabama and Mississippi.
