The nation is talking about Colorado and what many consider the surprise results from the state's republican caucuses. Rick Santorum was certified as the Wednesday, with Mitt Romney coming in second. "It was a complete game changer," said Colorado College Political Science Professor, Bob Loevy.
Santorum got wins in three states. Along with Colorado, Minnesota and Missouri also held caucuses on Tuesday.
The Colorado results show Rick santorum got just over 40-percent of the votes. Mitt Romney is about five and half percent behind with just under 35-percent of the vote. "So I think that indicates that Santorum is stronger than we then thought he was. The fact that he was able to do so well here," said UCCS Professor, Josh Dunn, "So the other states possibly, not as surprising, but Colorado really was surprising."
Third and fourth in Colorado are Newt Gingrich with almost 13-percent followed by Ron Paul with close to 12-percent.
