I’ve got to get up early in the morning, so I’m going closing down early. A summary of tonight.

For the Republicans, I can simply say that McCain was the winner tonight. This isn’t to say that he’s won the official nomination, just that he won most states tonight.

For the Democrats, results were all over the place, and varied.

Hillary Clinton took:

• California (my projection)
• Arizona
• New Jersey
• Massachusetts
• New York (57% to 40%)
• Tennessee
• Arkansas (73% to 24%)
• Oklahoma (55% to 31%)

Barack Obama took:

• Utah
• Alaska (my projection)
• Colorado (2:1)
• Idaho (by a huge 80% to 18% per CNN)
• Minnesota (2;1)
• Connecticut (close! 50% to 47%)
• Kansas (73% to 27%)
• North Dakota (61-37%)
• Alabama (fairly close)
• Delaware (fairly close)
• Illinois (65% to 33%)
• Georgia (66-32)

And some are too close to call right now:

• New Mexico (a weak Hillary lead, but only 1% is in)
• Missouri: with 98% reporting, they’re neck-and-neck in both parties

I’m biased (I’m posting this wearing an Obama T-shirt, on a laptop with an Obama sticker on it, with an Obama sticker in my window), but I’d say the winner of the night was Obama. The polls I’d seen left me expecting Hillary to take most states, but I was confident that the way we award delegates would keep Obama in the running. Obama has taken the majority of the states, some by a surprising majority.
