The polls have closed in Florida, but the Republican primary race is too close to call.
With about 19 percent of precincts reporting, John McCain holds a narrow, 34 percent to 31 percent, lead over Mitt Romney. Rudy Giuliani has 17 percent, Mike Huckabee has 13 percent, and Ron Paul has 3 percent.
The networks, however, did declare Hillary Clinton as the winner of the Democratic primary, which will not determine any delegates. With 19 percent of precincts reporting, Clinton has 48 percent, well ahead of Barack Obama with 30 percent, and John Edwards with 14 percent.
