(CNN) -- As the second wave of Super Tuesday polls close, CNN projects Mitt Romney and Barack Obama will take their home states of Massachusetts and Illinois.

Sen. Barack Obama will win Georgia's Democratic primary, CNN projects. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton and John McCain will pick up their first states of the night. Clinton is projected to win in Oklahoma, and McCain is projected to take Connecticut and Illinois.
