Santorum's big night: Wins Missouri and Minnesota

Rick Santorum roared back into the GOP presidential race with wins in the Missouri Primary and the Minnesota Caucuses. The Show Me State race is a beauty contest--no delegates will be awarded. But momentum is key and its with the former Pennsylvania senator tonight. Results in the Colorado Caucuses are just trickling in now.

So far it's a bad night for Mitt Romney but an even worse night for Newt Gingrich as the role of the "anti-Romney" may revert back to Santorum.
