The biggest news coming from the Virginia Primary isn't the margin of victory. It's that Independents are flocking to Obama in droves leaving McCain high and dry. I just heard an analyses of the voting paterns in Virginia's Open Primary on NPR and it stated empathically that most Independents and even some moderate Republicans are voting for Obama. This is a big reason why John McCain's vote margin over Mike Huckabee is a relatively small one

The implications of Obama's appeal to Independents and moderate Republicans can't be overstated for the general election next Fall. This should be the best news of the whole primary season for Democrats.
This is probably also the death knell for Hillary Clinton's campaign. Democrats in Ohio Pennsylvania, Texas and the other states are very likely to rally around Obama as the strongest candidate for next Fall. I don't have to tell you how badly Democrats want one of our own in the White House next January.
With 98% reporting it's:
Obama 606,937 votes
McCain 238,738 votes
Clinton 339,866 votes
Huckabee 194,641 votes
Of course the Republican race is said to be all over but there were a lot of Huckabee votes today.
