In the race for delegates, which ultimately will clinch their parties' nominations, the two California presidential primaries looked much different Wednesday morning.
Arizona Sen. John McCain almost ran the table on the Republican side, while New York Sen. Hillary Clinton was on track to win only 20 to 30 more delegates than her opponent, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama.
McCain was winning in all but two of the state's 53 congressional districts, one in San Diego and one in Tulare and Fresno counties. According to the party's delegate-counting rules, that's likely to give him all but a handful of the 173 delegates at stake in California
"He's basically turning this into a
winner-take-all state," Hector Barajas, spokesman for the state Republican
Party, said Wednesday morning.
