OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) - The Washington state Republican Party has released additional results from this weekend's presidential caucus, and Arizona Sen. John McCain is still the apparent winner.

With 96 percent of results in, state party Chairman Luke Esser said McCain had 3,191 precinct delegates (25.6 percent) to Mike Huckabee's 2,898 (23.3 percent) - a difference of just 293.

Texas Rep. Ron Paul won 21 percent of Washington's precinct delegates, and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who dropped out of the race this past week, got 15 percent, according to the latest numbers from the GOP.

The latest numbers come after Huckabee's campaign bitterly complained about Esser calling the race for McCain on Saturday with 87 percent of the results in.
