Mitt Romney cruised to an easy win in the Puerto Rican Republican presidential primary on Sunday. With 83 percent, Romney easily bested Rick Santorum -- who had spent considerable time on the island-- who placed a very distant second with 8 percent. Newt Gingrich followed with 2 percent and Ron Paul with 1 percent.
With Puerto Rico having 23 delegates at the Republican convention in Tampa, Romney, who had the support of Puerto Rico Gov. Luis Fortuno, appears to have won all 20 that were up for grabs on Sunday. The race now heads to Illinois which holds its primary on Tuesday.
