Major Candidates’ Vote Totals So Far

Given Rudy Giuliani’s withdrawal, there are only 7 major party presidential candidates remaining who have had the organizational strength to qualify for all presidential primary ballots they wished to be on. Adding up the votes from the four states that have held presidential primaries yields these totals:

Republicans: McCain 1,182,765; Romney 1,073,491; Huckabee 557,138; Paul 150,518.

Democrats: Clinton 1,435,440; Obama 967,577; Edwards 390,062.

Note that this compilation only includes presidential primaries, not caucuses. Also note that there were also 237,558 votes in the Michigan Democratic primary for “uncommitted”, and that Edwards and Obama chose not to be on the Michigan ballot. Clinton’s national primary total without Michigan is 1,107,916.

Clinton has renewed her call for the Democratic national convention to seat delegates from Michigan and Florida. UPDATE: press reports say Edwards will also withdraw on January 30.
