Romney wins Montana Republican presidential vote

SEATTLE, Feb 5 (Reuters) - Mitt Romney won the Montana Republican caucus on Tuesday, scoring a victory in his bid for the party's U.S. presidential nomination over rival John McCain, U.S. media projected.

Montana was the 4th state to go for the former Massachusetts governor 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.

McCain, an Arizona senator, has won 7 states. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee has won 5 states.
