Mike Huckabee has won the Republican caucuses in West Virginia. The candidate, who was among several Republican hopefuls to address the crowd, is among several presidential hopefuls making a final push for votes on Super Tuesday. Acrimony flared between Republicans John McCain and Mitt Romney as voters cast ballots Tuesday in presidential nomination contests as stormy as the weather in some parts of the country. Democrats Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama predicted this day of decision would not settle their own pitched rivalry. Voters, meanwhile, faced another punch of snow over the northern Midwest while thunderstorms crashed through the interior Southeast early Tuesday, potentially hampering voting in many of the states holding primaries and caucuses.

McCain, Romney look toward next fight

John McCain and Mitt Romney looked ahead on Wednesday to the next sprawling battles in a heated Republican presidential race that is about to have one less combatant -- former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

With most of the votes counted, McCain led Romney by 36 percent to 31 percent.

Gov. Kathleen Sebelius arrived at the end of an event here, in the hometown of Obama's grandfather on his mother's side, because of high winds and snow in Kansas.
