CNN Projects Obama Wins Virginia

Obama Wins Virginia's Democratic Primary
By DAVID ESPO

"Barack Obama has won Virginia's Democratic primary, defeating Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Obama is also hoping to capture first place in Tuesday's Democratic primaries in Maryland and the District of Columbia."

Obama challenges Clinton with 62 percent. Obama will have to wait on Maryland and Washington voters who have been granted longer hours to vote due to the weather, polls closing at 9:30 p.m.

Some folks working for Hillary Clinton are not taking the sound defeat so well. According to Suzanne Goldenberg and Ewen MacAskill of guardian.co.uk, The crushing defeats for Clinton brought new signs of disarray within her camp including the resignation of her deputy campaign manager, Michael Henry. As the results came in, her campaign worked the telephones in an effort to reassure donors that she remained a viable candidate.
