Did not see a live thread to keep track of how things were going.
Latest results from VA on the Repub side

I was trying to place her horrendously over-eager voice and realized she reminds me of one of those overeager late night infomercial hucksters.
"If you vote for me, even starting from a one bedroom apartment, you can get a free education! and a better job! and health care for you and your children! and a helicopter! and a cute little pony!"
As soon as Huckabee supporters stop asking us to support their candidate for any other reason than we support their candidate and his positions. Calling on Republicans to vote for Huckabee because they resent John McCain is not going to advance the party, Conservatism, or anything alse. The only thing it will advance is Mike Huckabee. I resent the cynical manipulation, and I don't bother to hide it.
Time for Huck to fold his tent for the good of the party. The numbers of Democrats voting as compared to Republicans is nightmarish and the only way to victory is to have McCain begin sniping at the Dems and define policy differences; something he cannot begin to do with Huck still in it, constant conservative criticism, and other distractions.
They could have handed DC to Obama the day he announced.
MD closing in 2 minutes
Republican voting is supressed because McCain is going to win the nomination no matter how the voting goes in the rest of the states.
WHAT THE HELL DID YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND DO FOR OUR VETERANS AND MILLITARY IN THE 90’S YOU B*TCH!
America's ex-wife.
CNN exit polls for MD will be made available at 9:30 so we can get some sense of how things went there.
The time you’ll find me voting for McRino is over my COLD DEAD BODY.
Alans ideas are right. His presentation of them is off. He speaks truth forcefully, but comes off a little arrogant. He is brilliant, but I’m not sure how well he would do against a likeable Obama or Hillary.
Yes, that the Democrat turn out is incredible. And I think we are doomed.
However there is another school of thought.
Does this turnout simply reflect the fact that the Democrats have a close race where every vote counts and McCain is the all but anointed Candidate for the GOP? Also, there are some 9 months to campaign, lots can change in that time.
She has this horrible pattern. Starts quiet and subdued - then slowly raises the volume and and get faster and shriller and goes Howard Dean.
Obama wins MD...CNN
McCain wins MD....CNN
This is getting far too routine, Maryland called for Obama and McCain - One nanosecond after the Polls closed.
Wow- that was fast!
Really?
Only with about an acre of fleece.
Well, clearly CBS never gets it wrong. And Huck wouldn’t lie. /s
I don’t know how to post links, but go to wsrp.org & look at the news release that the state republican party released, it pretty much explained it all. All “votes”**** have been counted, other than 4 counties have to retabulate their results because the caucus leaders in those counties counted the preference of every individual who attended the caucus, instead of just the delegates preferences. It is clear & obvious that McCain “won” the meaningless poll of delegate preference, so is Huck an idiot, or a liar? I’m pretty sure he’s the latter. As evidenced by many other facets of his candidacy.
Oh, and the reason this bothers me so is because ridiculous, false accusations such as this water down the TRUE & SERIOUS vote fraud that we experienced here in 2004. I find him despicable for this.
I had to hit the mute button. She is just horrible. Ugg can you imagine listening to her give a State of the Union address?
