Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois won the Vermont’s Democratic presidential primary Tuesday night, while Sen. John McCain of Arizona was the winner on the Republican side, according to projections by NBC News.
The state’s delegates to the Democratic National Convention will be apportioned later based on the size of Obama’s win over Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York. It was Obama’s 12th victory in a race in which the Illinois senator had the momentum and the lead in the delegate chase in NBC News’ count, 1,194-1,037, going into Tuesday’s balloting.
In all, there were 370 Democratic delegates at stake in Rhode Island, Vermont, Ohio and Texas, which uses an unusual primary-caucus system.
