Obama has won Virginia and DC in a landslide.  He took about 3/4 of the vote in DC and 2/3 in Virginia.  He is the projected winner in MD as well, but that will be up in the air for a while because an ice storm forced the polls to stay open late and votes cast after the normal closing time are provisional.  The counting won't be done for at least a week. 

McCain took that hat trick as well.  He had like half of the vote in VA, and 68% in DC.  Huck took about 40 percent in VA and only 17% in DC.  In MD with only about a quarter of precincts in because of the storm,McCain has 56% and Huck 28%.

This ice storm is turning into a nightmare in DC.  There are cars that have been trapped on the on/off ramps for hours.  The Springfield mixing bowl (a crazy series of ramps from I95 and its branches) has had cars trapped on it since 3 and 4 PM with no end in sight.
Oh, for a muse of fire, that would ascend the brightest heaven of invention . . .
