NEW YORK (AP) - Sen. John McCain has won the Republican
presidential primary to claim all 101 of New York's GOP delegates.
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton beat back a strong challenge by
Barack Obama to win the Democratic primary in her adopted state.
The Associated Press and NBC News projects the winner of both primaries based on exit polling of voters.

Although Clinton won New York, Obama seemed poised to get a big chunk of New York's 232 Democratic delegates. McCain had the backing of former New York City Mayor Rudy
Giuliani, who ended his campaign last week. The Arizona senator
defeated Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney in the winner-takes-all
party primary.
