Massachusetts being projected for Clinton. Given that Ted Kennedy's endorsement hasn't even carried his own state, it a big victory for Clinton and bad news for us Obama supporters.

Massachusetts will have cheered up the Clinton camp no end a populous state which was looking a likely Obama state will mean an awful lot

They shouldnt read too much into it, after all the good people of  Massachusetts have long given a damn about anything a Kennedy says.

What happens Romney's delegates now?

Can they transfer to Huckabee? Looks like McCain has it now anyway although Romney and Huckabee combined have almost 500 delegates compared to Romney's 707. Huckabee would havta start beating McCain on a very regular basis and that's unlikley to happen as he doesn't seem to have a broad appeal.

Poor value for the $40 million for Romney!

could be a smart play from Romney- he is now seen as the one who unified the party- took one for the team etc, and has done this in a way that will please the GOP big shots. eye on 2012 methinks

He will never be president however there may be a back stairs political deal that sets him up for the VP position or secretary of state should they prevail in the elections.
