Rick Santorum easily won the Kansas Republican presidential caucus Saturday, with 51% of the vote to Mitt Romney's 21%, the Associated Press reports.

Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul received 14% and 13% respectively.

Santorum received 33 of Kansas's 40 delegates to the GOP nominating convention, but Romney, who did not campaign in the state, has a huge lead in delegates overall. He won the Wyoming caucus Saturday, taking at least six of the state's 12 delegates, as well as caucuses in the U.S. territories of the Virgin Islands, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands.

According to the AP, former Massachusetts governor Romney now has 453 delegates committed to him, more than the other candidates combined. Santorum has 217, Gingrich 107, and Paul 47. The candidates now look to Tuesday's primaries in Mississippi and Alabama.
