DENVER -- It took one night for Rick Santorum to become a player again in the Republican presidential race.

 

 

The former Pennsylvania senator came out on top in the voting in all three contests Tuesday night, including an unexpected five-point victory in Colorado's caucuses. Santorum also won the Minnesota caucuses, by an 18-point margin, and he won by 30 points in the Missouri primary.

 

Santorum moves on without any new delegates, but with plenty of momentum.
