WARNING: Grab your pain releiver BEFORE attempting to read through this post.
Results for the huge Super Tuesday voting and the effect it will have on delegates are still in progress in both parties. What follows are completed results.
We begin with the delegate count from February 4th, the day before
Senator McCain.........112
Governor Romney........94
Governor Huckabee.....29
Representative Paul......6
Mr. Keyes.........................0
These totals are from 8 contests and include superdelegates who have announced their preferences. The Republican party has 153 of their total delegation of 2,380 who will be admited to the National Convention.
Per CNN and Reuters information the delegate estimates after February 5 with some delegates still to be assigned is as follows:
Senator McCain...........680
Governor Romney.......270
Governor Huckabee....176
Representative Paul......16
Mr. Keyes...........................0
The Republican party uses several different ways to assign delegates based on state votes. One style is "Winner Take All" this means the person with the most votes gets all that states delegates except their three superdelegates. Even if the candidate with the most votes doesn't get a majority of the votes, all delegates but the three go to them. Nine such states chose delegates by primary on Super Tuesday. McCain hit these states pretty hard winning most of them.
Another common style is proportional based on the percentage of the popular vote the candidate receives. Some states do this straight. Others require the candidate to receive a minimum percentage of the total (usually 15%). Some states give half the delegates to the candidate that lead the vote total and the other half are split proportionaly.
Lastly, (you're welcome) some states split their delegate counts between their congressional districts and use a proportional vote in each district to decide on the number of delegates to assign each candidate.
As a result some of the percentages will not seem to relate in any real way to the percentage of the vote in any given state. Some candidates who have dropped out received votes because their names were not removed from the ballot and some absentee votes were received before the candidate pulled out.
All that being written, here are the state totals with delegates assigned in the states that have completed their counts. These delegates listed below are included in the second set of counts above.
State......total votes

Connecticut......150,159

Mayor Giuliani...................1%.................0
West Virginia....1,100 state delegates (not a direct vote)
Governor Huckabee....52%..................18
Governor Romney........47%....................0
Senator McCain...............1%....................0
(Two things on background: 1. Governor Romney entered the State convention with the most votes but Senator McCain released his delegates and all but 12 of them went to Governor Huckabee. 2. Representative Paul claims that his people went to support Governor Huckabee on the understanding that the Governor would then release 3 of his 18 delegates who would then be free to support Paul. The Party hasn't said yet if they will honor that. )
