Potomac Primaries



After a slew of weekend contests won by Barack Obama, the two campaigns will go up against each other in the so-called "Potomac Primaries" which include Virginia, Maryland, and D.C.
While Obama is ahead in the polls in all three contests, Clinton needs a strong showing - if not a win - in Virginia. Basically, she needs to stop the bleeding after 5 straight losses since super tuesday (losing each by 19 points or more), and the chance of losing 10 straight (including Hawaii and Wisconsin next week) before the Texas and Ohio Primaries in early March.

McCain could put the nail in the coffin of rival Mike Huckabee, who is hanging on by a thread on the republican side. He is pulling the socially conservatice and anti-McCain vote, hoping to win enough delegates to keep MCCain from running up the 1191 necessary for the nomination.
