Rick Santorum has won Mississippi’s Republican presidential primary — completing a two-state sweep of Deep South contests. Santorum narrowly edged rivals Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney to win Mississippi.
Earlier, Santorum won Alabama’s GOP primary with a slightly wider margin. Evangelicals played a key role in both states. Nearly 4 of 5 voters surveyed in exit polls called themselves born-again or evangelical.
Caucuses in Hawaii were also on the calendar in the race to pick an opponent to President Barack Obama this fall.
