Barack http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=2868 in overall delegates and sweeping the Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C. primaries.
Meanwhile, John http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=3410 won the three Republicans contests. However, his victory is tainted by the fact that Republican turnout was beyond dismal.
In Virginia, approximately 750,000 people showed up for the Democratic primary, but less than 300,000 for the Republican. More people showed up to vote for Obama in all three contests, than showed up for the Republican primary.
