Michigan GOP Final Results

With 100 percent of the vote now counted, Sen. John McCain is the winner of the Michigan GOP primary. McCain is winning 50 percent of the vote to Gov. Bush at 43 percent of the vote. Alan Keyes stands at 5 percent of the vote.

Sen. McCain also easily won the Arizona GOP primary with 63 percent of the vote. George W. Bush was second with 36 percent of the vote.

The Michigan GOP primary was an "open" primary, meaning that registered voters of all parties can vote in it. This proved to be a major factor in Sen. McCain's victory.

While Gov. Bush won about 67 percent of the votes cast by Republicans, Sen. McCain claimed around 80 percent of the votes cast by Democratic and Independent voters.

It remains to be seen how this "cross-over" voting will affect results in big delegate sates like California and New York where both Republican and Democratic parties hold primaries on the same day -- Mar. 7th, "Super Tuesday."
