Obama Wins Virginia, Networks Project

Exactly one minute after the polls closed, CNN, MSNBC and Fox all call Virginia for Barack Obama.

Late Update: That the race would be called so quickly is obviously a signal of just how big a landslide victory this is. But look at some of these exit poll numbers cited by MSNBC.

* Hillary barely won the white vote, 51%-48%.

* Hillary won almost none of the black vote -- 10% -- while Obama got 90% of it.

* Obama won by a large margin among white men, 55%-43%.

* Hillary did win by a big margin among white women, 58%-42%, which suggests that this firewall constituency remains reliable for her.

More soon.

Late Update: Here's another really interesting exit poll number cited by CNN: Obama had a 10-point lead, 54%-44%, on who is most qualified to be Commander in Chief -- Hillary's core campaign argument.

Late Update: One stat the Obama campaign will be trying to make a point of: Obama won the Latino vote by 10 points in Virginia, 55%-45%. But the exit polls show that the Latino vote in Virginia is all of five percent, so it's unclear how significant this is.

Late Update: Another key figure in the Hillary camp resigns.

Late Update: Two more Hillary staffers out.

Late Update: Here's a key excerpt from Obama's victory speech, in which he seizes on the occasion to train his fire on presumptive GOP nominee John McCain.
