Washington : Republican John McCain nearly checkmated his rivals, while Democrats Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama drew after 24 moves on the US Super Tuesday.
The results of primary elections in a score of states did not show an absolute loser from the Democratic Party, where presidential hopefuls are still on the race.
The ex first lady won in populated states like California and New York, but the Afro-American senator won more than 60 percent of votes in more states.
According to political analysts, Clinton was voted by Hispanics and women, and Obama was supported by Afro-Americans, youths and university students.
Nationwide, Clinton won the vote of white women, while the black candidate for the White House was voted by white men in a 47-45 percent ratio in all primaries held on Tuesday.
Meeting experts’ predictions, McCain won in delegate-rich jurisdictions such as California, New York, Illinois and Arizona, his home state.
However, Baptist Pastor and ex Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee topped the election results in almost all southern states, where there is a majority of Christian Evangelic voters.
Huckabee won 77 percent of votes by Republican evangelists in Alabama and 75 percent in Arkansas.
The presidential candidates are preparing their campaigns to mobilize voters in Texas, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, where there is no clear favoritism.
