His losing streak broken and the GOP presidential race entering a lull, Mitt Romney now turns his attention to extending the huge cash advantage he enjoys over his rivals.

The former Massachusetts governor narrowly won Maine's Republican caucuses, state officials announced Saturday night, giving Romney's campaign a much-needed boost after humbling losses in Colorado, Minnesota and Missouri earlier in the week.

There won't be another election until Arizona and Michigan hold primaries at the end of the month and the next debate is 10 days away.

That's an unusually long break in a rapid-fire Republican race that featured six contests in the last two weeks alone. Romney and his rivals now have 17 days to raise cash and bolster their organizations for what's shaping up to be a long slog to the Republican nomination and the right to face President Barack Obama in November.
