12:59 a.m.: Clinton is the projected winner in Texas, capping off a huge night for her campaign.

10:53 p.m.: MSNBC calls Ohio in favor of Clinton. I would be cautious about this considering MSNBC's Chuck Todd was on not too long ago saying that it was too close to call because a lot of the votes in Obama strongholds haven't been touched yet.

10:26 p.m.: Cuyahoga County (Cleveland area) won't be finished until 4:30 a.m. with the tabulation of votes.

10:11 p.m.: Still too close to call in Texas and Ohio for the Democrats.  

9:47 p.m.: So my big question: Hillary obviously isn't going to sweep tonight. Should she stay in or should she get out?

9:22 p.m.: Clinton is projected the winner in Rhode Island.

9:19 p.m.: Huckabee drops out of the race.

9:15 p.m.: Obama is leading early on in Texas, while Clinton is leading early on in Ohio.

9:14 p.m.: McCain will head to the White House tomorrow for George W. Bush's endorsement.

9:06 p.m.: It's all locked up for John McCain. He has over 1,200 delegates now on the Republican side. McCain is the projected winner in Ohio AND Texas. McCain swept tonight's primaries.

9:02 p.m.: Too close to call on the Democratic side in Rhode Island, Texas and Ohio.

9:00 p.m. The polls are closed in Texas and Rhode Island. McCain is the projected winner in Rhode Island and the presumptive Republican nominee.

8:07 p.m.: I'll be back at 9 p.m. with the rest of the night's results. Ohio will be officially done at that time.

8:02 p.m.: At least one county (Sandusky) in Ohio still has their polls open and will be open until 9 p.m. The Ohio Secretary of State is calling on counties not to turn in their results until 9 p.m., but results still seem to be coming in anyway.

7:55 p.m.: Ohio still close to call for the Democrats.

7:38 p.m.: Here are the exit polls on the Democratic side in Ohio. The results were really mixed here. This will be a close one, at least for now.

7:32 p.m.: Ohio too close to call on the Democratic side.

7:31 p.m.: John McCain is the projected winner in Ohio.

7:11 p.m.: After Ohio closes its polls at 7:30 p.m., Rhode Island and Texas will close at 9 p.m. Remember, Texas also has a caucus today.

7:05 p.m.: The Vermont exit polls were really intriguing. Obama won almost every category given on the exit poll.

7:02 p.m.: Barack Obama projected the winner in Vermont on the Democratic side, while John McCain is declared the winner on the Republican side.

6:58 p.m.: Vermont's polls for the Democrats and Republicans will be closing at the top of the hour. Ohio's polls closing at 7:30 p.m.
