The Houston Chronicle was all over the primary races in Minnesota, Missouri and Colorado Tuesday night and Wednesday reporting a big win for Rick Santorum in every race. While much of their coverage was from the AP, The Chron covered the race very in-depth, focusing anywhere from Santorum's huge day, to the implications of the race for Romney and Gingrich. The paper also had an article entitled "Paul says results help him rack up delegates" giving Paul's reaction to the big decision for him in the Minnesota primary race.

The best feature to date on the race is an interactive timeline borrowed from the AP that the paper has on its site. The timeline breaks down each of the big three candidate's polictical history, and their momentum up until this point. It also highlights the results of the Feb. 7th contests, as well as gives the figures for their individual POLs and PACs. The timeline pins all of these as well as where each candidate stands on the issues, and shows how well each have performed in various debates up until this point. It is an extremely helpful interactive guide allowing any reader to be up-to-date on the current GOP field and the race as it stands.
