The dust from the Super Tuesday storm appears to have settled ( or has it?) and it is time to look at the results of your vote.
Candidates(with 99% of the precincts reporting)(numbers courtesy cnn.com):
Democrats:
Hillary Clinton %age of vote: 52%; Number of delegates pledged so far: 233
Barack Obama %age of vote: 42%; Number of delegates pledged so far: 172
John Edwards %age of vote: 4%; Number of delegates pledged so far: 0
( We will keep updating these numbers as we get them..with provisional ballots still to be counted, it might take a while for the delegate count to add up to 370). Incidentally, the mini poll we had up on the site predicted the percentage vote difference as well as the best pollster out there. We had Hillary up 56% to 44%!
Republicans:
John McCain %age of vote: 42%; Number of delegates: 116
Mitt Romney %age of votes: 34%; Number of delegates: 3
Mike Huckabee %age of votes: 12%; Number of delegates: 0
( Remember the Republicans operate on a winner-take-all system. For an explanation of delegate allotment, see here.)
