Hillary wins new York

Hillary Clinton has won her adopted state of New York, whom she represents in the US Senate. There are no numbers yet on the vote, but it looks like Hillary has taken 3/4-2/3 of the vote, leaving her with a large chunk of the 200+ delegates up for grabs in the second-most populous state.

All of the other states reporting at 6pm have no clear winner, even in John McCain's home state of Arizona. Surprising that McCain didn't pull his own state so overwhelmingly that it wasn't immediately available to call, as Hillary did.

Tennessee is still up in the air, but it looks like John McCain may have put another state into his pocket.

Clinton is also ahead in early numbers in Massachusetts, which is a tad surprising with all the high-profile endorsements Obama has gotten from the state's politicians like the Kennedys, John Kerry and the state's governor. This could be big for Hillary, from a PR standpoint, as Massachusetts doesn't have a powerhouse amount of delegates, but if Hillary wins, she will have done so in spite of the Democratic establishment in the area turning against her.

Hillary and Huckabee both take Arkansas

Not too surprising of a move, but Hillary Clinton and Mike Huckabee have taken the respective votes in the state of Arkansas.

Both were expected to win. Hillary based on Bill's long governorship and their continued favorability in the state. Huckabee was a popular Governor of this state for over ten years, so his victory was nearly assured as well.

Breaking: Hillary Clinton takes Tennessee as well, with about 54% of the vote, with 3% of the polls reporting.

Huckabee is also growing as the poll results roll in in Georgia. He is 5% up with about a quarter of the votes counted.

More on the states as the results are rolling in.
