US: Romney wins 6 states on Super Tuesday
Mitt Romney boosted his prospects for becoming the US Republican presidential nominee, winning six states including the coveted prize of Ohio on Super Tuesday, the busiest day in the turbulent campaign to select a rival to President Barack Obama.
But Romney failed to land a knockout blow against his main rival, Rick Santorum, who won three contests and barely lost Ohio. Newt Gingrich kept his candidacy alive by winning his home state of Georgia. (AP)
