Obama Defeats Clinton in Maryland, Virginia and D.C.

The Washington Post

Sen. Barack Obama swept to convincing victories over Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton in Democratic presidential primaries in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia, extending his winning streak since Feb. 5 to eight.

In a victory speech tonight in Madison, Wis., Obama declared "we're on our way," but warned that the job of bringing about fundamental change in Washington was far from done. "We know it takes more than one night -- or even one election -- to overcome decades of money and the influence, bitter partisanship and petty bickering that's shut you out, let you down and told you to settle," he said.

Even as the results were rolling in, the shakeup in Clinton's senior staff continued, as deputy campaign manager Mike Henry announced his resignation. Henry's departure came just two days after campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle stepped down.
