Every candidate picked up delegates and nobody is feeling compelled to drop out of the race. John McCain claims front runner status on the Republican side, by winning Arizona, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Missouri, New Jersey, New York and Oklahoma, and bringing his total to 613 delegates.Mitt Romney is up to only 269 from wins in Alaska, Colorado, Massachusetts and Minnesota.Mike Huckabee did surprisingly well, winning across the South in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Tennessee and West Virginia.
Hillary Clinton won 845 delegates from Arizona, Arkansas, California, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Oklahoma and Tennessee. Barrack Obama was right behind her, bringing his total to 765. He carried Alaska, Alabama, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota and Utah.
The Democratic race remains locked in a dead heat.Democrats could be headed for a brokered convention to determine their nominee. A crisis could occur if Obama goes into the convention with slightly more delegates than Clinton; the Superdelegates could still make her the nominee.McCain is way out in front of the Republican pack. Huckabee's continued presence in the race will help McCain, hurt Romney
