2008 Presidential Race
Feb. 13th, 2008 10:15 amOn the Democratic side:
Obama swept all three contests yesterday, winning in DC (75-24), MD (60-37), and VA (64-35).
Obama did well across the board: young and old, men and women, black and white. His momentum coming out of this is phenomenal, especially with likely wins in upcoming Hawaii and Wisconsin. Hillary’s last ditch effort will be in Texas and Ohio on March 4th, which are now must-wins for her. In my opinion, the break has come, and I will be surprised if she wins both of these states (and not at all surprised if Obama does).
On the Republican side:
McCain won all three contests in DC (68-17), MD (55-29), and VA (50-41).
Though a winner, the contest in Virginia still underscores the problem McCain has with religious conservatives, who voted for Huckabee 60-25. Obama’s draw on independents is affecting the Republican primaries, meaning that these and other conservatives groups are having a larger influence on the outcome.
