Mitt Romney has squeezed out a win in the pivotal Ohio primary after capturing four other states and padding his delegate lead in the race for the Republican presidential nomination. But he has to share the Super Tuesday spotlight with a resurgent Rick Santorum.

Romney scored a home-state win in Massachusetts to go with primary victories in Vermont and in Virginia _ where neither Santorum nor Newt Gingrich was on the ballot.

Santorum has countered by winning primaries in Oklahoma and Tennessee and the North Dakota caucuses. Gingrich has won his home state of Georgia.

A total of 10 states are voting on Super Tuesday.

More than 400 delegates are at stake on the busiest day by far of the race to pick an opponent to President Barack Obama in the November election. (AP)

"롬니, 오하이오州 경선 신승"

美공화 경선 `롬니대세론' 고착화 전망

미국 공화당 대선후보 선출을 위한 6일(현지시간) `슈퍼화요일' 경선의 최대 승부처인 오

하이오주(州) 프라이머리(예비선거)에서 밋 롬니 전 매사추세츠 주지사가 `신승'을 거둘 것으로 예상됐다.

CNN방송 등은 이날 개표율 96% 상황에서 롬니 전 주지사의 승리가 확실시된다고 예측 보도했다.

롬니 전 주지사는 38%의 득표율을 기록, 릭 샌토럼 전 상원의원(37%)을 간발의 차이로 눌렀다. 뉴트 깅리치 전 하원의장과 론 폴 하원의원은 각각 15%와 9%의 득표 율을 나타내고 있다.

공화당 경선의 분수령으로 여겨지는 이날 슈퍼화요일의 10개 경선지 가운데 최고 접전지로 분류된 오하이오에서 롬니 전 주지사가 승리를 확정지을 경우 `대세론'에 상당히 힘을 받을 것으로 보인다.
