Romney wins Utah Republican presidential vote

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

Utah was second state to go for Romney 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 six states. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee has won three states.
