(CNN) -- Sen. John McCain will win Wisconsin's Republican primary, CNN projects.
Sen. John McCain is looking to pick up more delegates as he inches toward his party's nomination. As polls closed, it was too early to call the Democratic race between Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Exit polls show Obama ahead.

McCain is the presumptive nominee for his party, but he must pick up 1,191 delegates to seal the nomination.

While the Arizona senator leads by a wide margin in the delegate count, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee has said he intends to stay in the race.

"We see the last stand only when somebody has 1,191 delegates," Huckabee said Tuesday. "Other than that, we may go all the way to Minneapolis-St. Paul, to the convention.

"People are for the most part spoiled by the last three election cycles when it's sort of a done deal before we ever got to the convention," he said.

4. What bothered me last night was they called the race the second the polls closed

with 0% counted. At least get some of the vote counts in before you project a winner.

Hillary Clinton, the second place Democrat, polled twice as many votes as John McCain, the Republican winner, in the Wisconsin primary. Savvy readers will figure out what that means pretty quickly.
