Net Results

The Associated Press and the networks are projecting Arizona Rep. John McCain as the winner over former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney by a close but clear margin.

The win gives McCain all 57 delegates at stake in Florida's winner-take-all primary (the state had half of its allocated delegates removed by the Republican National Committee over a scheduling dispute). Perhaps more importantly, it gives him added momentum -- following a similarly narrow win over ex-Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee in the Jan. 19 South Carolina primary -- heading into the crucial bloc of nearly two dozen voting events on "Super Tuesday" next week.

With just more than half of precincts reporting in AP's vote count, McCain had 37 percent to Romney's 32 percent. Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who essentially camped out in Florida in hopes of offsetting poor showings in early primaries and caucuses, failed to do so, taking 16 percent in the partial count. Huckabee also endured a blow to his hopes of at least establishing himself as the premier candidate of the South, running fourth with 13 percent.
