McCain takes NY

John McCain has won New York, and it's 87 delegates.

Our political analyst, Curt Smith, just walked into the newsroom.

His first impressions-
- "Romney needs to win California if he wants to survive the night."
- "Huckabee's strong performance shows that conservatives aren't willing to vote for John McCain. They're looking for anyone else... they'd vote for Dan Quayle if they could."

The big story: voter turnout

Democrats locally have turned out in force for this year's primary.

Here are the 8:30 numbers from the Board of Elections:
City - 41%
Towns - 39.2%
County - 40%

In 2004:
City - 14.3%
Towns - 18.5%
County - 16.8%

In 2000:

On the Republican side, the numbers are comparable to the 2000 primary.

Polls closed; Clinton wins NY

The polls are closed. Hillary Clinton will win New York. By how much remains to be seen.

Here's a look at the states that just wrapped up.

Results trickling in; missing MO?

Arkansas goes to Clinton and Huckabee, no real surprise there.

Deleware goes to McCain.

The only state we haven't heard from in either party - Missouri, which has 58 delegates that will go to the winner of the Republican race.

It's time to look ahead to 9 p.m., when polls in 6 states, including New York, close. If you haven't voted, I hope you're warming up your car.

Polls close in several states, Georgia returns

Georgia has gone to Barack Obama. It's one of the big states on the Democratic side, with 87 delegates up for grabs. It's a tight 3-way race for the Republicans.

Voting in 9 states ends at the top of the hour. In Arkansas, for some reason, the polls close at 8:30.
