Republican John McCain virtually sealed his nomination, leaving one-time frontrunner Mitt Romney's campaign in shambles. The 72-year-old Vietnam veteran grabbed California, where Romney was hoping to turn the tide after losing several key states to McCain and Mike Huckabee, who revived his campaign with victories in Georgia, Tennessee and Alabama.
The two Democratic rivals who are locked in a tight and bitter contest poached into each other's territories in the biggest primary day in US history setting the stage for a long fight for the party's nomination.
Clinton, seeking to become the first woman President of the United States, won the biggest prize, California, with a strong showing among Hispanics and Asian Americans, and Massachusetts where she battled the powerful Kennedy clan.
Obama, 46, who has won several high-profile endorsements, bagged 13 states against Clinton's eight showing off his mass appeal in the coast-to coast contest.
He won the deep south states of Georgia and Alabama, posted east coast victories in Connecticut and Delaware, consolidated in the mid-west with Minnesota, Kansas, Utah and North Dakota. He sewed up easy wins in his home state of Illinois and the western state of Colorado. He also won Alaska, Idaho and Missouri.
Clinton, 60, answered with victories in Oklahoma, Tennessee, New Jersey, her delegate-rich home state of New York, her one-time home of Arkansas, where her husband Bill Clinton had been governor, and Missouri.

RatingWhat Savithri Shankar said is absolutely right, they even dosent know what is PM and who is PM; then why should we have to look on them may be they are outsourcing their work to us, but indians are not slave to U.S, we are working and they are paying.
very true, savithri is absolutly right ... most of the Americans don't even know that we as a country exist .... then why are oue media bothered about them so much..lets just concentrate on the progress of our country..and post valid comments on it.
I agree with Sujit as why Our media (including our Tvs) covers so much about U.S. Election. 90% of Americans (born here) do not understand the elctroral process here. How can any one from India understand what is a cacus and primary. Why this is done and is this the elction or one more election. BTW, even so why we have to know all this??? More importantly it is even a big challeneg for political science majors here as why there are two votings for President: one direct from the public and another the Electoral college Votes. However, a person elected DIRECTLY by people canot become a President without Electoral college majority votes. How many of us know theat george bush, the current President lost in the DIRECT VOTES fro cirizens---meaning people elected Al Gore. But Bush had majority elctoral college votes, so he became the President. In that scenario, why the hell we have to have DIRECT VOTES from Citizens. this is puzzle and American sare equally conservative like Indians in NOT changing something written by the fathers of Constitution. All we know is simple elections like what we have parliamnetary style...and that's it: So why not we talk about Manmohan, karuna, JJ Amma, Mayavathi, Padhavathi, Ambika soni. soni sambika, Sonia gandhi,and be happy with our castic comments on them...That's our culture. Please do that IE...BTW, 99.99% americans do not know who is our PM (they even don't know what a PM is )and 50% know that there is country somehwere at the bottom (yes, they refer to map; don't know the directions).
I do not know why Indian media is giving so extensive coverage on the pre-election voting and results of USA president election? In US media, India's even general election of parliament is covered with a small news at back page. How we are concerned about US presidency? This is simply native slave attitude.
