Due to the way the DNC is running their system, the Democratic primary is basically pointless, as Hillary is running unopposed.
On the Republican side, however, it's very competitive. Last I saw, Romney was at 33%, McCain was at 28%, and Huckabee was at 17% (Rudy and Fred made no effort there).
Assuming this holds up, Romney will have a nice win. He was expected to do well, but so was McCain. This may be the end of McCain, though, since this was an open primary (meaning that anyone can vote in either race). He has lots of appeal to independents and Democrats who would be bored by the lack of a race on that side. In future races closed to Republican voters, he won't do so well since Republicans dislike him.
Anyway, it's nice to see Romney do well and McCain and Huckabee not. If I think of anything else to add later I'll post it.
