Chesapeake Tuesday: Obama takes MD, McCain sweeps as well

Senators Barack Obama and John McCain both swept to victory on Chesapeake Tuesday. Obama's victories were by large margins, almost 2-1 in MD and VA, and 3-1 in DC. Huckabee gave McCain a good fight in VA, but the winner-take-all nature of the state's primary means McCain took all of the delegates. Although still not official, it appears McCain will be the GOP nominee in November.

For Senator Clinton, it comes down to Texas and Ohio. She not only needs to win these states, she needs to win them big. If she doesn't, it will be very hard for her to overcome Obama in the delegate count. His goal isn't necessarily to win those states, but to keep it close. However, if he does win, it might be time for Hillary to gracefully exit the stage so the general campaign can begin.

Chesapeake Tuesday: Obama wins DC and VA

Obama makes it 7-0 since Super Tuesday, as he wins big in Washington D.C. and Virginia. Maryland has yet to close, due to issues with inclement weather. This wasn't a big surprise, although there was some thought that Senator Clinton might compete in Virginia.

Still too close to call for the Republicans. McCain will likely win all of the states tonight, but Huckabee is certainly having a strong showing. McCain is still likely the nominee, but Huckabee is certainly keeping things interesting.
