What a day.

Per the Washington Post this morning:

For the Democrats-

Hillary picked up 582 delegates / 8 states
Obama picked up 562 delegates / 13 states

New Mexico is still, apparently, too close to call (Obama 49%/Clinton 48% with 92% of precincts reporting at ‘press time.’)

The overall totals are:
Hillary = 845 delegates / 12 states
Obama = 765 delegates / 15 states
2025 needed for the nomination.

Obama absolutely crushed Hillary in Idaho with 80% of the vote. In other states, suck as Georgia and Colorado, he won with greater than 30 percent more of the vote. Hillary’s margins were not nearly as good anywhere but Arkansas.

On the other side of things…

McCain picked up 511 delegates / 9 states
Romney picked up 176 delegates / 7 states
Huckabee picked up 147 / 5 states

The overall totals are:
McCain = 613 delegates / 12 states
Romney = 269 delegates / 11 states
Huckabee = 190 delegates / 6 states
1191 needed for the nomination

Interesting note, Huckabee owned the Southeast yesterday but is showing poorly, overall. Add to that McCain’s strong, second place showing in each of those states and you have a recipe for one less candidate in the soup. I wonder how long he’ll last.

Lastly, here’s a good read about delegate assignment and the race going forward for both parties:

Neither horse race is over, yet.
