Barack sweeps the Patomac Primaries

Well, Barack has won DC, Maryland, and Virginia all by at least 60% from the look of things. From the pundits doing the math, it appears that he now has more than a 100 delegate lead over Hillary, even when the superdelgates are included. Even more interestingly, even if you count in the popular votes she got in Florida and Michigan (remembering he wasn't even on the ballot in Michigan and didn't campaign in Florida even tho she did a little), he STILL leads in the popular vote!

I just think it's fantastic that this happened on Abraham Lincoln's 199th birthday. So we joined the "money bomb" and Garvin and I both donated $5.01 to the campaign (since Lincoln appears on the $5 bill and the penny).



Here's hoping we'll celebrate Lincoln's 200th birthday just after celebrating the inauguration of President Barack Obama!
