Barack Obama was running up big margins over Hillary Rodham Clinton in the Northern Virginia suburbs of Washington, D.C., a major font of Democratic votes in a state where that party has become increasingly competitive in recent statewide elections. Obama had 69 percent of the vote in the city of Alexandria and 61 percent in Arlington.
Barack Obama is leading Clinton by a 2-to-1 ratio with about one-third of the vote in in Chesterfield County, an area south of Richmond that is the fourth most-populous jurisdiction in Virginia (behind Fairfax County, Virginia Beach and Prince William County).
In the Republican primary, John McCain is leading Mike Huckabee in that county by 49 percent to 43 percent.
