(Washington, DC)
Today the nation's capitol region struggled to recover from an election day ice storm, that prevented thousands of voters from casting ballots in Tuesday's Potomac Primaries in Virginia, Maryland and Washington, DC.
The weather (and the vote) also put a big chill into the struggling challenges of former Gov. Mike Huckabee (R-AR) and Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY).
Both need big wins, and soon, or their campaigns are over.

Sen. Barack Obama won all three primaries here, by landslide margins, taking home most of the delegates. In fact he is now ahead of Sen. Clinton with 1,215 delegates to her 1,190. They need 2,025 to win the nomination.
Clinton campaigned last night in El Paso, TX. Texas along with Ohio, Rhode Island and Vermont holds primaries on March 4th, and Clinton really needs to win most, if not all. She also faces Obama next Tuesday in Hawaii and Wisconsin, where she hopes to keep the vote close, although Obama is favored to win. 
Obama campaigned in Madison, Wisconsin last night, trying to appeal to the huge college-age population there.

He must win every primary, from here on out, to catch McCain. It's possible, but not probable. While Huckabee made a close run in Virginia last night, it was a "winner take all" state, so McCain won all 60 GOP delegates!
McCain is already looking past Huckabee, and spoke about facing Obama or Clinton in November during his Virginia victory speech.
I will have updates everyday, and will be in Wisconsin next week for the Tuesday February 19th primary.
