Mitt Romney has won the Republican presidential caucuses in Hawaii, salvaging a much needed victory after resurgent rival Rick Santorum won primaries in Alabama and Mississippi.

Romney finished a disappointing third behind Santorum and former House of Representatives speaker Newt Gingrich in the Deep South primaries on Tuesday.

But he came back to edge out both rivals in Hawaii and added a sweep of delegates from Republican nominating caucuses in American Samoa.

Texas congressman Ron Paul finished fourth in both Southern primaries, and third in the Hawaii caucuses.
