A Big Night for Obama, McCain Continues to Roll

Senator Barack Obama swept what has been termed the Potomac Primary with big wins in Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia. Maryland extended voting hours to 9:30 pm due to weather-related treacherous roads. For the first time Obama moved ahead of Senator Hillary Clinton in delegate count, 1,186 to 1,181. 2,025 are needed to win the Democrat Party nomination for president.

Senator John McCain swept the Potamac Primary races and increased his delegate count to 827 of the 1,191 needed to secure the Republican Party nomination for president.
