WASHINGTON AP – Democrat Barack Obama looked to continue his winning streak in three mid-Atlantic presidential primaries Tuesday and brushed aside questions about the coming contests where rival Hillary Rodham Clinton was focusing her attention. Republican John McCain sought to rebound from two weekend losses to Mike Huckabee and reinforce his position as the inevitable GOP nominee.
Early turnout in Virginia was reported high and city officials in the District of Columbia were hoping that a swath of new registered voters would show up at the polls. Maryland election officials were also projecting a strong turnout, particularly in the Democratic race.
