オバマの快進撃が続く、民主党予備選3州で圧勝

Senator Barack Obama rolled to victory by large margins in Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia on Tuesday, extending his winning streak over Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton to eight Democratic nominating contests.
The outcome provided him his first chance to assert that the Democratic race, which had seemed to be heading into a protracted standoff, is beginning to break in his direction. And it left Mrs. Clinton facing weeks in which she has few opportunities for the kind of victory that would alter the race in her favor after a string of defeats notable not just for their number but also their magnitude.

　スーパーチューズデー以来、オバマは負け知らず。勢いがついてきた感じで、バージニア、メリーランド、ワシントンDCの3州で、ヒラリー・クリントンに圧勝。流れはオバマに。一方、共和党も、マケインが予備選で勝利する。大統領選は、民主・オバマｖｓ共和・マケインの可能性が大きくなってくる。両者、接戦になりそうだし、こうなると、副大統領に誰を選ぶかが重みを持ってくるだろうなあ。
