Percentages McCain Romney
Male---56-------35-------32
Female-44-------32-------30
It's too close to call but it looks like McCain has just the slightest edge, since it's the Republican primary significantly more men than women voted in it.
Interestingly whites and Protestants seem to have gone to Romney (he's considered more conservative) while Catholics and minorities (mainly Hispanics) went for McCain overwhelmingly.
Hillary obviously won overwhelmingly, although Obama continues to win overwhelmingly among black voters, garnering 76%.
Update: There continues to be atrociously low turnout from young people, seems to decline from primary to primary (although to be fair, Florida's Democratic primary was rather meaningless), under 10% in both primaries.
Final Update: Close to half of the Republican electorate was over age 60 and they favored McCain by 3 points. Those over 65 favored him by 7. No gender gap. Only a third of voters were evangelicals, which explains Huckabee's weakness.
The Democratic voters were 60% female and 40% over 60, both key groups for Hillary Clinton.
