"In the Democratic race, Sen. Obama benefited from large populations of black voters, who have consistently given him more than 80% of their votes in recent state contests. Exit polls showed he had topped even that in the two states, besting Sen. Clinton by margins of up to 90% to 10% among black voters.
Black voters were about a third of the electorate in Virginia, and slightly less than that in Maryland, according to the exit polls. In both states, Sen. Clinton narrowly edged Sen. Obama among white voters, on the strength of her appeal among female voters. But among white men, Sen. Obama had a double-digit edge, according to exit polls, and that margin fueled his victories in the states.
The two states and Washington, D.C., held a combined 168 delegates for the Democrats and 110 for the Republicans. Sen. McCain's victories are expected to boost his accumulated tally of delegates to 789, according to the Associated Press, about two-thirds of the 1,191 needed for nomination; Mr. Huckabee has 241."
