...heels of larger-than-expected victories in three states this weekend, Barack Obama is heading into Tuesday's primaries in Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia with momentum, money and a small but growing lead in the delegate count. As much as he prefers to play the underdog role, three decisive wins on Tuesday could make him, at least for now, the undisputed Democratic front-runner...
Southern hospitality is the well-known idea that people in the South should be warm and welcoming to their visitors.

John McCain's losses in Kansas and Louisiana - and his narrow win in Washington State - suggest that, at the very least, the Republican Party will not be able to begin preparing for the general election as soon as leaders would like.
