Big Turnouts on the Potomac

Last night, the state of Virginia and Maryland, in addition to Washington DC held their primaries, aka the "Potomac Primaries." Democrats once again kicked butt in turnout. Virginia, which is supposed to be a red state, saw Democrats beating Republicans big time in turnout:
Look at the vote totals in Virginia with 84% reporting. McCain had 174K and Huckabee 143K. But Obama had 423K and Clinton 241K.
Both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton cleaned house last night in Virginia. This is good news, but there is still a whole lot of work to be done, volunteer right now by clicking here.
Thanks to all of the new folks who've stepped up in the last week or so to volunteer and work for the change we want rather than just talk about it. Your help is tremendously appreciated!
Update: Here are the latest delegate totals from OpenLeft:
