The Results

West
• California (173) – Called for McCain; this is the great disappointment of the night by far.
• Arizona (53*) – McCain wins, though the margin less than you would think for his home state.
• Utah (36*) – Romney dominates! I LOVE UTAH! We don’t mess around…serious smack down for McCain! 90% for Romney...just 5% for McCain.
• Colorado (46) – Good win for Romney; solid percentage over McCain: 60% to 19%. Much thanks goes to our (Utah's) neighbors to the east.
• Montana (25*) – Another big western win for Romney!
• Alaska (29) – Romney wins another western state. Just wish we could have swept the West including California and Arizona...

Western Midwest
• North Dakota (29) – Called for Romney! A big win!
• Oklahoma (41) – McCain takes it. Not unexpected.
• Minnesota (40) – This I believe is the most surprising win for Romney on the night. Huge! Thank you Minnesota!

Midwest
• Illinois (70) – I was hoping for the upset, but not…goes for McCain.
• Missouri (58*) – Goes to McCain in very close race. Along with California the two most disappointing results of the night I think.

South
• Alabama (48) – Huckabee wins as expected here.
• Georgia (72) – For Huckabee, but McCain and Romney were not far off the pace.
• Tennessee (55) – Goes for Huck, though again the other two were not far off.
• Arkansas (34*) – Huckabee wins his home state as expected.
• West Virginia (30) – The joke of the day (see post below)…for Huckabee on a backroom deal.

Northeast
• New York (101*) – McCain as expected.
• Massachusetts (41) – Romney as expected.
• New Jersey (52*) – McCain as expected.
• Connecticut (30*) – Reasonably close but goes for McCain.
• Delaware (18*) – Also reasonably close but goes for McCain.

Total that gives 9 states to McCain, 7 to Romney, and 5 to Huckabee today. If West Virginia hadn't been jobbed, it would be 9, 8, and 4.

Also an interesting, though not encouraging thought for Republicans: 6 of the 9 states McCain won were "blue states" in 2000 and 2004 and very unlikely to go for the GOP this year.
