Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump both won a majority of Virginia's delegates Tuesday in the race for their parties' White House nominations.
But, as always in politics, there's more to the story than just who won. We've done the leg work for you, and broken down some of the major takeaways from Super Tuesday results in the Commonwealth.
Why Hillary won Big, But Not That Big
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton got 65-percent of the vote in Virginia, while Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders only got 35-percent.
According to exit polls, 58-percent of the Democratic electorate were women, and 70-percent of them backed Clinton. Clinton also won among all income brackets, and raked in the minority vote.
"The question that people had was whether or not Bernie Sanders could win among non-whites and Clinton got 77-percent of that vote," says University of Richmond Political Science Professor Dan Palazzolo. "So I think the story for the Democratic field was pretty simple. And that is that Hillary Clinton has consolidated her support among the party."
But, Clinton didn't quite win over one group that will be critical later in the General Election -- younger voters. According to exit polls, while Clinton did fine with young voters -- she didn't do as well as Bernie Sanders.
"In the general election she's going to have to be able to attract those younger voters,” says Quentin Kidd, a political analyst and director of the Judy Ford Wason Center for Public Policy at Christopher Newport University. "That's a critical part of the Obama coalition she's going to have to have if she's going to be the next President."
Youth voter turnout played an important, and unprecedented, role in both of President Obama's White House runs.
Where Donald Trump Won, And Where He Lost
Donald Trump narrowly edged out Florida Senator Marco Rubio by a vote of roughly 35-percent to 32-percent.
"Trump support in Virginia is substantial," says Palazzolo. "The story from my standpoint of Trump is that his coalition, if you will, held together."
More than 350,000 Virginians came out in support of Trump. According to exit polls, those voters were older, whiter, less educated, and middle income.
But, Palazzolo says, the broad support he's seen in other states didn't hold up in Virginia. Florida Senator Marco Rubio chipped away at it.
"Rubio did well among higher income voters, he did well among college graduates, he did well among suburbanites and urbanites," says Palazzolo.
Rubio also won more women, millennials, voters who decided in the last few days, and those whose top issues were the economy, jobs, and terrorism.
It's Not About People, It's About Parties
The real story of Super Tuesday in Virginia might be about the Democratic and Republican parties, more than any individual candidate. More than a million voted in the Republican primary yesterday -- the highest turnout in Virginia history.
"That could tell a story about the General Election,” says Quentin Kidd.
While everyone else was watching election results Tuesday night, Kidd was watching how many people of each party turned out to vote.
"If Republicans have more energy and excitement in their primary than Democrats do, then Democrats probably have some work to do,” said Kidd.
Democratic turnout was significantly lower than Republican, hovering around 770,000. Last presidential primary those numbers were flip-flopped.
That shift could tell an important story of momentum in Virginia, a state that is a critical battleground, leading up to the General Election.
Oh Yeah, Then There Was This
Okay, okay, this has nothing to do with Virginia -- but it did become the biggest story of the night on social media.
Chris Christie stood behind Donald Trump as Trump gave his celebratory speech of the night. Twitter and media had a field day with Christie's facial expressions, spawning countless memes and speculations.
