In theory that is true, however I can not imagine such a large number of people going through the Northern Virginia traffic just to cast a vote for a person to help their cause. Not only that but it was bad weather here in the Washington area tonight that made the traffic even worst. Although possible, I think it is improbable.
I don't see how you could watch the coverage tonight and not see the difference between Obama and McCain. It was striking. Although I like McCain and have a lot of respect for him, I just can not see him beating Obama. I can easily see him beating Hillary. Of course I could be wrong. As I said I live in Washington so I don't know how the rest of the country really thinks on these things. I don't know if people just will not vote for a Black man. That would probably be the best strategy for Hillary or McCain at this point if true. Just say "I am white, he is Black. Vote for me because I am White." I guess if could not hurt at this point.
