Presidential Republican party nominations haven’t historically hinged on Kansas voters. That might not be the case this time around with a competitive national race and no clear winner in sight.
None of the four candidates in the race has anywhere near the 1,144 delegates needed to secure the nomination — former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney leads with 111. But former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum now leads in recent polls.
Texas Congressman Ron Paul has vowed to stay in the race until the party’s August national convention in Tampa, making for a very interesting Kansas Caucus, said Clay Baker, executive director of the Kansas GOP.
