Barack Obama went three for three on Saturday, winning the Nebraska and Washington Democratic caucuses and the Louisiana Democratic primary over opponent Hillary Clinton. He then took the cherry on top with a Virgin Islands caucuses victory.
Mike Huckabee also had a good day Saturday, pulling out a strong win, 60 to 24 percent, over John McCain in the Kansas Republican caucuses earlier in the day and then taking Louisiana in a sqeaker. Huckabee was at 44 percent to 42 percent for McCain in Louisiana. However, Huckabee did not get to the 50 percent threshold needed to gain the delegates up for grabs from the state, and they will remain uncommitted going into the national convention in September.
The Washington Republican caucus results were called by The Associated Press for McCain during the night Sunday, leading Huckabee 26 to 24 percent. Ron Paul was close behind with 21 percent and Mitt Romney won 17 percent despite having suspended his campaign on Thursday.
