Obama, Obama, Obama

He essentially handed Hillary Clinton her ass tonight. He has now won eight contests in a row. (And I'm sorry Sen. Clinton...each election counts whether you like the results or not.) It's not over by any stretch, but if she is to have a prayer of being nominated she is going to have to do extremely well in Ohio and Texas next month. She has leads in both states according to current polling, but then again she was leading in Virginia polling right before the holidays. Results like tonight's (landslides across the board), plus possible wins in Hawaii and Wisconsin next week, could well swing momentum so far toward Obama going into the big state contests in March that he can't be stopped.

Live results for Virginia here, Maryland here, and D.C. here.
