The battle's not over yet
As the Washingtonpost reports this morning:
Democrats
"Results ensure fierce contest for delegates will continue into critical primaries in Texas and Ohio on 4 March, and possibly beyond.
Republicans
"McCain surges closer to the nomination, but fails to deliver knock out blow to rivals, who deprive him of victories across GOP strongholds."
Expatica will publish a full analysis of the results later on today.
