As it stands with Saturday's results still not totally in, here are the Delegate counts and information on today's Potomac Primary where three will be held.
Beginning with the Republicans, needing 1,191 delegates for nomination, here are the standings:
Candidate......................Elected Delegates........Superdelegates.......Total
Senator John McCain...............719...............+..........17...................736
Governor Mitt Romney..............268...............+...........0...................268
Governor Mike Huckabee...........210..............+...........3....................213
Representative Ron Paul.............16..............+...........0......................16
Louisiana's primary vote is complete and the state has 47 delegates. gov. Huckabee wins with 43% of the vote to Sen. McCain's 42%, Gov. Romney's 6%, Rep. Ron Paul's 5% and the 1% both Sen. Thompson and Mayor Giuliani received. However the delegates won't be assigned until a caucus convention this Saturday the 16th. Est. Delegates would be 23 for Gov. Huckabee and 21 for Sen. McCain with the remaining three being superdelegates who determine their own vote. But the convention may change those totals.
Washington's Caucus results with only 87% of the ballots counted stands at:
CandidateState Del.*%Del*
McCain (http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/candidates/#1701)3,46826%0 (6)*
Huckabee (http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/candidates/#1187)3,22624%0 (5)*
Paul (http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/candidates/#302)2,79921%0 (4)*
Romney (http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/candidates/#893)2,25316%0 (3)*
Uncommitted1,72913%0
*Gov. Huckabee is challenging the results of the Cuacus as the clerk stopped the counting of results with only 87% of the ballots counted and only a 242 vote difference between Gov. Huckabee and Sen. McCain. Once this is settled 18 delegates will be awarded.
In addition, 19 more delegates will be awarded later this month when Washington holds a straight proportional primary vote.
Today's Primaries, the so called Potomac Primaries, are in the District of Columbia (primaries are their only say in the Presidential election), Maryland, and Virginia. Here's the breakdown of the votes and delegates available.
District of Columbia is a winner-take-all style with 16 delegates at stake
Maryland is a winner-take-all style with 34 delegates at stake
Virginia is a winner-take-all style with 63 delegates at stake
As is true with most Republican primaries there are three additional superdelegates form the DC and Maryland contingent that will choose who to back on their own. Virginia ties their three to the vote, one of only a very few states in the party to do so.
Watch here tomorrow for updates on these races.
