Hussein And McCain Sweep It All
Feb. 12 (Bloomberg) — Barack Obama won Democratic presidential primaries in Virginia and Washington, D.C., dealing another set of defeats to Hillary Clinton, according to network projections.
Obama, 46, is seeking a sweep of all three jurisdictions holding primaries today to establish a clear lead over Clinton, 60, in the Democratic nomination race. Voting in Maryland was extended by 90 minutes until 9:30 p.m., local time, because icy conditions made travel treacherous, according to the state Board of Elections.
“What we’re seeing now is a tremendous shift in momentum for Barack Obama,” Steven Wayne, a professor of government at Georgetown University in Washington, said in an interview with Bloomberg radio. “It looks like Mrs. Clinton is in a very difficult and defensive situation at this point.”
In Virginia, Obama was leading with 62 percent of the vote to 38 percent for Clinton with about half the precincts counted. NBC News projected he’ll win the District of Columbia.
Fox News:
Barack Obama and John McCain swept the Potomac Primaries Tuesday, FOX News projects, giving the candidates a vital injection of delegates in the race to become the nominee of their respective parties.
McCain beat Mike Huckabee in Maryland and the District of Columbia, after squeaking out a surprisingly close win in Virginia earlier. And for Obama, the victories in those three contests mean he’s won eight consecutive races over Hillary Clinton since Saturday.

I’m stunned, who would’ve thunk it!
February 12th, 2008 at 6:59 pmI was watching Fox and watched Obama Ramble, and Ramble on for what seemed to be an hour? Then I was watching McCain speak and thay cut him off before he was even done? I had to switch to CNN to finish watching him speak. What’s up with that?? Fox falling under Obama’s spell?
February 12th, 2008 at 7:30 pmHow can you not fall under his spell? Nobody can say so much about nothing more than him!

I thought I was the only one who saw that!! He’s as good as Bill Clinton at talking and talking but never saying anything. What kind of person can vote for someone like that?
February 12th, 2008 at 7:52 pmCompare Obama’s website with Clinton’s… ten times more policy details on Obama’s.
He was criticised last summer for being TOO detailed about policy, so he made his speeches more general and, well, look what happened!
And Hillary’s boring policy-wonk speeches haven’t got her very far, have they?
