Santorum won more states than any other person.

I think your statement is incorrect

First place finishes by popular vote:

Romney=Orange; Santorum=Green

[Two Thirds Vote Aye]

I think napscoordinator was referring to the state of the primary race at the time the Republican Establishment forced Santorum out for their boy, Romney.

We were told over and over that Romney was the only one that could win. OK, D-fender, now that they have forced him down our throats, he had damn well better win, or we will lose our country.

Nice graphic. Final count: Romney- 37 states, Santorum- 11 states, Gingrich- 2 states. Add 6 to Romney's totals if you want to count his sweep of DC and the outlying territories.

Still, the momentum was on Santorum's side in February. He may very well have turned it around if Gingrich had shown the grace to stand down after his loss in Florida.

Then, there's Ron Paul, who scooped up most of the delegates in Minnesota and Maine without winning either.
