McCain Sweeps Potomac Primary

The Washington Post

Sen. John McCain defeated former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee in the Virginia Republican primary today, and he also won with comfortable margins in Maryland and the District in the region's first-ever Potomac Primary.

With more than 90 percent of the vote counted in Virginia, McCain was ahead 50 percent to 41 percent. In the District, with about half of the precincts reporting, McCain led 67 percent to 17 percent.

Detailed results were not yet available in Maryland, where polls didn't close until 9:30 p.m. due to inclement weather. Early network exit polls gave McCain nearly a two-to-one margin over Huckabee in Maryland.
