John McCain actually wins all three Potomac primaries: Maryland, Virginia and Washington DC
Basically the win is notched, I'll call it even if the news and campaign staff won't. Time to start preparing for Obama or Clinton in November.
Some other noteworthy announcements today:
Oliver North Endorses John McCain
Rush Limbaugh pulls down the rhetoric, of course he won't vote for Hillary or Barack
My Man Mitt says "please support McCain"
Obama with a Cuban flag?

Hi Steve,
When I saw the Intrade surge for McCain in January, I figured his chances were pretty good to be the nominee.
My wife leans to the GOP because of me, but isn't fully committed to any one party, so I consider her to be the typical voter who is somewhat informed, but not ideologically driven to support a candidate.
She's willing to vote for a McCain-type Republican, but doesn't want to put another Bush Republican in office since she feels that he hasn't done a great job because of all of the messages in the media.
McCain might be the right person to go against Hillary -- we know it will end up being Hillary Clinton when the smoke clears and all of the chips are played and superdelegates get promises of nice ambassador positions on sunny tropical islands. McCain consistently polls higher than Hillary Clinton, so he's a winner.
The conservatives -- I consider myself to be hybrid conservative with libertarian qualities -- need to realize that "tough love" sounds great in theory, but that it could be disastrous in application if the Democrats win and are able to get coordinated to start passing legislation designed to gather more control over our lives, property, and freedoms.
They could send a message that they want the party to remain ideologically pure and end up having Hugo Chavez and his friends appointed to the Supreme Court for the next 50 years because they weren't thinking about the larger picture.
