New York Times:: “Mr. McCain was preferred by more affluent and better-educated voters. People who consider themselves moderates, Catholics and those who live in Northern Virginia were more likely to back him. On the Democratic side in Virginia, Mr. Obama’s strength crossed a range of demographic groups, as he gleaned majority support from voters regardless of age, income and education. He was backed by independents and Democrats, liberals, moderates and conservatives.”

Ed Morrissey: “I’ll predict sweeps by both McCain and Obama. For McCain, I’d guess that he wins Virginia by nine, with Huckabee’s mini-surge falling a bit short. Maryland will go to McCain by twenty points, meaning McCain will take at least 23 of the state’s 37 delegates. He’ll take DC’s 19 delegates in the winner-take-all contest by at least five points, giving him 105 delegates at night’s end to Huckabee’s 14, and the gap will increase to almost 600.”

WSJ: “In another year, against another candidate, Illinois’s Sen. Obama might be on the verge of nabbing the Democratic nomination. A few Democratic strategists, and some Republicans, think he is almost there now. But Sen. Clinton is no average candidate, and party rules give the New York senator enough convention delegates to weather February’s squalls until contests in March.”
