Watching Returns


Obama wins Virginia big. Again, much bigger than everyone thought, polls all wrong. Waiting for DC, and Maryland, where voting is extended because of bad weather. Is Obama on an unstoppable surge? Or is there really no momentum in this race on either side, in that once one gets some mojo, the other comes back? Clinton may well take Texas and Ohio, but then don't forget Pennsylvania, in late April. It's going to be a long process. And please, don't buy all the "superdelegate" hype. They'll go where the voters go, and it probably won't even come into play. Your thoughts?
