What you need to know to navigate the sea of analysis currently washing at the Internet's shores:

Democrats

Clinton took: Arkansas, Arizona, California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oklahoma, New York, Tennessee

Obama took: Alaska, Alabama, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, Utah,

Republicans

John McCain took: Arizona, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma

Mike Huckabee took: Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Tennessee, Utah, West Virginia

Delegates (at 8.30am British time)

Democrats: Clinton 582, Obama 485, Edwards 26 (2,025 delegates needed)

Republicans: McCain 513, Romney 207, Huckabee 139 (1,191 delegates needed)

We'll leave the analysis to everyone else for now, other than to say: Clinton solid, Huckabee surprising.
