Live results from Florida primary

REPUBLICANS (57 national convention delegates at stake) John McCain and Mitt Romney clashed in a hard-fought Florida primary on Tuesday, seeking campaign momentum before the race for the Republican presidential nomination turns into a nationwide delegate struggle on Feb. 5. Rudy Giuliani and Mike Huckabee also had spots on the ballot, struggling for survival in a race that threatened to leave them behind — or out. DEMOCRATS Democrat Senator Barack Obama looked to close the gap with Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton heading into next week's virtual national primary after securing the coveted endorsement of Senator Edward Kennedy. Florida was also to hold a Democratic contest, but the party's candidates all agreed to a pledge imposed by national party leaders not to publicly campaign there because of a dispute with state party officials. The Democratic National Committee stripped Florida of all its convention delegates for violating party rules by holding its primary earlier than Feb. 5.
