Democrats were a wash; McCain cleaned house

mccainsmiling.jpgNeither Hillary Clinton nor Barack Obama gained much of an advantage Tuesday night, with Clinton narrowly edging Obama in delegates, 584-569, according to Associated Press. But on the GOP side, John McCain was the big winner, capturing the big, winner-take-all states and most of the delegates. Mike Huckabee also did very well, winning several Southern states and placing a close second in others. He’s unlikely to win the GOP nomination, but he certainly positioned himself as a possible vice presidential pick. Though Mitt Romney won several states, he was the big loser of the night, particularly given the amount of money he spent campaigning in California.
