LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Arizona Sen. John McCain won the California Republican primary on Tuesday, defeating main rival Mitt Romney in the biggest contest of the day and boosting his front-running bid for the party's U.S. presidential nomination, NBC projected.
California was the ninth state to go for McCain in voting on Super Tuesday, so called because nearly half of the U.S. states are holding contests to choose Republican or Democratic candidates for the November general election. Romney has won six states so far in Super Tuesday voting, projections showed.
