In the Republican race, John McCain bested Mitt Romney by an almost 8% margin. Nationwide, John McCain was the clear favorite for the Republican Party with more than double the delegates of Mitt Romney. It’s still a coin toss for the Democratic Party. Although Clinton took the majority of delegates in California, Obama has so far won more states overall. Obama currently has 13 states to Clinton's eight. There are still 8 state Primary elections to go, plus the District of Columbia and US Virgin Islands. Of the less notable parties, Ralph Nader ran and won both the Green and Peace and Freedom party races; while the American Independent front runner was Don J. Grundmann and Christine Smith placed first in the Libertarian Party race.
