Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich are battling for second place with Romney showing a one percentage point lead with 17 percent and Gingrich coming in at 16 percent. Ron Paul in last place at this time with 13 percent.
[Update] CNN has projected the winner now as Santorum. Romney still leading Gingrich by 1% and Paul still at 13%.
[Update] With 99 percent of the vote tallied, Santorum won with 51 percent, Romney in second with 21 percent, Gingrich 14 percent and Paul 13 percent.
