- Romney’s delegate count poses a challenge to rivals. The GOP candidate, who won six of ten states on Super Tuesday, expanded his delegate lead in ways that could be hard to bridge.

But Romney’s opponents dispute his lead is insurmountable, saying that just over a third of delegates have been distributed.
