The Wilder effect in spades. This is the crowd Jim Webb got out to vote. They’re his people.

Winner take all for republicans. For democrats, it’s proportional.

Here is the Not Larry Sabato count of delegates. He’s a shill for Hillary, but his numbers are usually accurate:

UPDATE: MIKE HENRY QUITS CLINTON CAMPAIGN

As returns come in tonight we will update this until every pledged Delegate has been called!

UPDATE 7:27 p.m.: Huckabee still leads, but we have enough returns in to project JOHN MCCAIN the winner of Virginia’s winner take all primary. One caveat- Northern Virginia is heavy for McCain and nothing is yet in from Fairfax- if the traffic problems killed turnout, there is a small chance Huckabee could win this.

1st CD: Barack Obama 2, Hillary Clinton 1, Unprojected 1
2nd CD: Barack Obama 2, Hillary Clinton 1, Unprojected 1
3rd CD: Barack Obama 4, Hillary Clinton 0, Unprojected 2
4th CD: Barack Obama 3, Hillary Clinton 1, Unprojected 1
5th CD: Barack Obama 2, Hillary Clinton 1, Unprojected 1
6th CD: Barack Obama 1, Hillary Clinton 1, Unprojected 2
7th CD: Barack Obama 3, Hillary Clinton 1, Unprojected 1
8th CD: Barack Obama 4, Hillary Clinton 2, Unprojected 1
9th CD: Barack Obama 1, Hillary Clinton 2, Unprojected 1
10th CD: Barack Obama 3, Hillary Clinton 1, Unprojected 1
11th CD: Barack Obama 3, Hillary Clinton 2, Unprojected 1
At-Large: Barack Obama 16, Hillary Clinton 7, Unprojected 6

Overall: Barack Obama 44, Hillary Clinton 20, Unprojected 19

I’m not worried. Que Sera Sera. Obama might turn out to be a Communist and get overthown in the Second U.S. Civil War.

And all these protest votes against McCain are just stupid

Ahhhhh... the sweet, dulcet sounds of the Juan McCain campaign charm offensive.

It isn’t. Try to think about this for a minute. I know you love your candidate but the facts do not change no matter how much we wish they would.

After tonight McCain is going to be about 300 votes away from the nomination. Even if Huckabee wins every single state left, he has to win the split delegation states by 64% or more per Ingtar. Huckabee has to get over 950 delegates, McCain just over 350.

OK. Other then Virgina, in the Democrat vote today. NO state has gone that lopsidedly to any candidate.

CNN put it up on their map tonight. They gave every single state after tonight to Huckabee. Even then he does not win.

If Obama gets elected, I don’t think he will be much of anything. He’ll be like Clinton: A do nothing President.

Rove drew a line around Northern Neck and called it a Washington ex-urb, saying it went heavily for McCain. But the area between the Potomac and Rappahannock is good ole farm country and likely went big for Huckabee. I think Rove, the magnificant bast*** meant to draw a district down I-95 through Stafford County down towards Richmond.

Her flying monkeys will find something to make him quit

Yes....yes they will!

Hopefully that will PO the Obama supporters and they will stay home. On the RINO side the conservatives stay home. The two stay at home groups cancel each other out and that leads to a very low turnout in a Hillary/McCain face off.

Could be a toss up between those two with Hillary getting a slight edge becaue of the Dem Machine.

What McCain would have to do would be to kiss up to the stay at home conservatives...maybe offer a "Contract with Conservatives" where in he promises to actually do something about conservative issues in his first hundred days.

I don't see that happening...sadly.

I’ve been saying that all along and things look very bleak for us in November, especially with McAmnesty leading the charge. IF, the Clintons have any dirt on Obama it will come out certainly within the next few weeks.

(Sound of clearing one’s throat, here.)

All that has to be done is to deny McCain a first ballot victory, at the least.

Search for the tread with the words, “can Huckabee win.”

“Could Huck beat Obama in the general?”

Absolutely! Huckabee has an even better personality than Obama, and a heck of a lot more brains.

McCain would come off as grumpy, compared to Obama.

People SHOULD vote for ISSUES, but many vote for personality, and those people could be the deciding factor.
