The polls have just closed in Virginia, Maryland, and D.C. With only exit polls and a few scattered early results in, it looks clear that Senators John McCain and Barack Obama will sweep their respective contests.
Obama, in particular, has built some very big wins over Hillary Clinton tonight. Not a surprise in D.C. and Maryland… but the Virginia contest is one that Hillary’s camp had hoped would be a little bit closer. This pads Obama’s slim delegate lead by a little bit.
John McCain appears to have taken all three of tonight’s contests, though Mike Huckabee gave him a tough run for his money in Virginia. We’ll have to watch the results and see how things finally break out.

Maybe you haven’t seen the election results. Huckabee is creaming McCain in Virginia.

McCain is up 48%-45% with 28% reporting right now… not sure what you’re talking about.

Well Austin, we can hold out hope that Mike can still pull it off.

It’s no longer possible for Huckabee to win enough delegates to get the nomination… it’s over with.

That’s too bad. Looks like Obama will be the next President. Way to screw things up McCain.
