Potomac Tuesday
Tomorrow is Potomac Tuesday - primary voters in Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia will head to the polls and choose their preferred candidate for the Presidential nominations. The biggest prize is Virginia and the Commonwealth’s 63 winner-take-all delegates. Maryland’s 37 will be awarded proportionally, and the District’s 19 will all go to the winner of that primary. All told, 119 delegates will be allocated tomorrow, with 92 bound to the winner.
Senator John McCain has 724 delegates, according to the Real Clear Politics, or roughly 61% of the way to the magic number - 1,191 delegates. If McCain wins every available delegate for the rest of the campaign, he’ll seal the nomination with Mississippi on March 10th. However, Gov. Huckabee has done remarkably well in many states, especially across the south, meaning that the nomination contest may stretch into late April or early May.
