Mitt Romney Wins Montana GOP Caucus
Mitt Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts, won Montana's GOP caucus Tuesday, beating both Ron Paul and Arizona Senator John McCain by more than 13 percentage points. Romney will take all of the state's 25 delegates. But it may mean little nationwide as John McCain is, by all accounts, Super Tuesday's big winner, claiming a handful of key states around the country.
Romney finished with 625 votes in Montana, or about 38 percent. Ron Paul finished strong in second place with 400 votes, about 25 percent. And McCain came in third with about 22 percent of the vote.
