(CNSNews.com) – “Stunning,” said the Associated Press. “Huge,” “amazing,” “incredible” and “surprising” were some of the other adjectives applied by TV pundits to Republican Rick Santorum’s triple win in Tuesday’s nominating contests.

In Colorado, Santorum took 40 percent of the vote to Mitt Romney’s 35 percent. (Newt Gringrich and Ron Paul took 13 percent and 12 percent, respectively.)
