McCain and Obama won big on Tuesday. There is no question about that.
McCain is lucky that the way the Republicans set things up is winner take all. McCain still has problems with conservatives. At least that's what we are told over and over and over again by the media. Although in the end he did get 50% of the vote in Virginia. So far McCain has 843 of the 1,191 delegates needed to win the nomination. He will be the nominee and all those conservative talk show hosts will have to get used to that. As you can tell I'm not particularly upset by the fact that Rush and Anne and Laura are all having melt downs over McCain. The longer it can go one the better. The more McCain will look like the far right candidate he really is.
As for the Democrats, Clinton has to be thankful that the system for the Democrats is proportional representation. Obama is ahead of Clinton by roughly 55 delegates that is according to the the Washington Post. The question has to be can Clinton make up the difference. Texas and Ohio are states that should be strong for her. They have her demographics. Although Obama turned that on its head with his wins on Tuesday. The question that now needs to asked is can Clinton win by a large enough margin to close the delegate gap. Only time will tell on that one.
