11:52 AM: State GOP still sorting out delegate count
Republicans were still trying to figure out this morning if John McCain would win all 37 delegates up for grabs from the returns.
The party awards 13 delegates based on the statewide vote, and McCain nabbed all of those. It also awards three delegates in each of the state's congressional district according to the popular vote in each with the winner taking all three. McCain has won seven of the eight districts, and the party was awaiting final numbers in the 3rd CD to determine the winner there.
Mike Huckabee had a slight lead there with 90 percent of the vote in, according to unofficial returns.
The three uncommitted delegates, who can back whomever they wish, have all endorsed McCain.
