WASHINGTON (AP) — Mitt Romney is adding one more victory to his Super Tuesday showing — the Alaska caucuses.

Ron Paul came in second in Alaska, finishing the 10-state Super Tuesday without a single victory.

Romney won Ohio’s Republican presidential primary, narrowly defeating Rick Santorum in the most critical and hard-fought of the Super Tuesday contests.

In all, Romney has gained victories in six Super Tuesday states. The other states he’s won are Massachusetts, Vermont, Virginia and Idaho.

Santorum has won Tennessee, Oklahoma and North Dakota, while Newt Gingrich has won his home state of Georgia.
