UPDATED 10:45 a.m., Wednesday Feb. 6 

 

 

The Los Angeles County Registrar and Recorder's Office has released another wave of election results for Super Tuesday and with 100 percent of county and state precincts reported, presidential hopefuls Hillary Clinton and John McCain have been declared both county and state winners.

The race breakdown by party:

Republican front-runner McCain also claimed victory in Connecticut, Illinois, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma and his home state of Arizona. Runner-up Romney won Colorado, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana and his home state of Utah.

Democratic leader Clinton won Arizona, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Tennessee and was projected to win New Jersey, Massachusetts and her home state of New York. Runner-up Obama won his home state of Illinois, Georgia, Alabama, Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Kansas, Minnesota, North Dakota and Utah.

 

Super Tuesday got a start early on when Mike Huckabee was declared a victor in West Virginia, taking all 18 delegates at that state’s Republican convention (later in the evening, he was declared the victor in Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas and Tennessee). With California considered one of three make-or-break states, along with New York and New Jersey, the races will be closely watched as they could mean the end of the campaign trail for more than one candidate.

 

At stake in California are 170 Republican and 370 Democratic delegates to their respective conventions. Of the viable candidates of either party, only Republican Mitt Romney actually visited the Santa Clarita Valley, holding a fundraiser in May. That will probably change before that first Tuesday in November when people will be asked to make their presidential selections and facetime will garner votes.

 

The Huffington Post website features Fundrace, a localized site pinpointing where campaign donations originate; aside from seeing whether your favorite celebrity is sending checks to both sides of the fence, you can find out how seriously your neighbor is supporting the candidate they are championing over the backyard barbecue (http://fundrace.huffingtonpost.com/).

 

We thought it was interesting that nearly a quarter-million dollars were poured into various campaigns from the Santa Clarita Valley; $159,484 to Republicans and $87,937 to Democrats. Check out the community breakdowns on the website.
