This could be another sweep for Obama.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Sen. Barack Obama won the Virginia primary Tuesday night and reached out for victories in nearby Maryland and the District of Columbia, determined to erode or even erase Hillary Rodham Clinton’s delegate lead in the Democratic presidential race. Obama’s triumph made it six straight over Clinton, the former first lady, now struggling to keep up in a race she once commanded. In all, there were 168 delegates at stake in the three Democratic primaries. Clinton began the night with 1,147 delegates, to 1,124 for Obama. Both are far from the 2,025 needed to win the nomination at the Democratic National Convention this summer. UPDATE Via MSNBCÂ(*) WASHINGTON - Sen. Barack Obama was projected to win Democratic presidential primaries in Virginia and the District of Columbia on Tuesday, NBC News reported, adding to his string of recent victories over Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. Voters also were going to the polls Tuesday in Maryland, but polls there were kept open an extra 90 minutes because of traffic problems caused by bad weather. ©2008 BlueBloggin.
