ELECTION ’08: Obama and McCain sweep the Potomac Primaries

Polls just closed in Maryland after they were kept open later due to bad weather. Sens. McCain and Obama were both projected to be winners of that primary. That gives them both sweeps in the Potomac Primaries. That gives Obama and 8 for 8 win in 4 days. Of course, Clinton says that those states don’t count, which must be heartening to the voters in those states who went out in snow and possible tornadoes to vote for her.

Here’s the numbers so far:
