On the Republican side:
Aside from winning in his home state of Arizona, Senator McCain won in several delegate-rich states such as California, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Delaware. Third place candidate, Governor Mike Huckabee (Arkansas) won in several Southern states in the so-called Bible Belt.
Mr. Huckabee just made it a bit difficult for Mr. Romney to catch up with Mr. McCain. However, Mr. Romney, supported by his ultra-conservative supporters in the Republican Party, has vowed to fight on.
On the Democrat side:
Senators Clinton and Obama are still locked in battle. Both candidates won in several states. Mrs. Clinton won in her home state of New York and in Massachusetts, California, New Jersey, and her former home state of Arkansas. Mr. Obama, on the other hand, won in his home state of Illinois and in Georgia, Connecticut, Minnesota, and Kansas.
Mrs. Clinton's victory in the Kennedy bailiwick of Massachusetts was remarkable given the fact that the Kennedys had gone all out in their support for Mr. Obama. This race is by no means over.
At this point, of all the candidates mentioned, I am very much hoping and praying against a Romney victory. It's not because of the person himself. It is because of the ultra-conservative wing of the Republican Party that he has chosen to represent. That wing thrives on polarization and non-compromise in my humble opinion. I hope that this coming election would make that wing irrelevant.

A victory by the hawkish Ultra-conservatives will further alienate the US from the rest of the world, IMHO.
Rudy,
So true. Those guys want to pursue an aggressive and oftentimes, unilateral, foreign policy. It's time that moderate members of both parties rise up and grab the reins from both right-wing and left-wing extremists.
I hope Mr. Obama wins.
Sidney,
On the Democratic side, yes, I do hope that he wins. A Hillary Clinton presidency would simply be a rehash of the eight years of controversy and scandal that this country went through during her husband's administration. As far as scandals, Bill had his share (Lewinsky, Lincoln Bedroom, etc.) and Hillary had hers (Whitewater, Vincent Foster's death, etc.).
