Va. big win for Obama, small for McCain MqNoFeñce

RICHMOND, Va., Feb. 12 (UPI) — Barack Obama racked up another primary win Tuesday in Virginia, while John McCain Juan MqAmñesty won with a smaller margin on the Republican side.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee did well among religious and social conservatives, winning 43 percent of the vote to about 48 percent for McCain MqWrite-In-Here-We-Come with two-third of the votes counted, The Washington Post reported. [Governor] Huckabee also won more than half the independents, undermining the Arizona Aztlán señator with a group that is usually one of his strengths.

This smells.


8:54 PM: VA unofficial R — still stuck at "8:27PM" and "62.86%" precincts reporting. Since total Republican-voter turnout is 223,601, that means roughly 83,000 votes remain uncounted. Governor Huckabee is trailing by only 7,424 votes (98,586 to MqQain's 106,010).

Florida, anyone?
