CNN calls it for McCain, but it's not pretty
CNN has finally caught up to what I’ve been saying for awhile now: McCain will win Virginia, but it won’t be pretty. It’s basically a two-man race, and McCain is still polling under 50%, thanks to votes for Ron Paul and some of the candidates who have already dropped out but still have their names on the ballot.
I’ve said to look at the suburbs. McCain is taking Fairfax with 63% of the vote. But he only took 52% of the vote in Prince William County. He’s winning Spotsylvania by 48-43. And he’s not up by much in the first precincts to report from Loudoun County.
Closer to home for us, Huckabee is thumping McCain in Roanoke County.
