Saturday Caucuses/Primaries: Obama Smoking, Hillary Crying, Huckabee Embarrassing McCain

From the Associated Press: "Sen. Barack Obama swept the Louisiana primary and caucuses in Nebraska and Washington state Saturday night, slicing into Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's slender delegate lead in their historic race for the Democratic presidential nomination. The Illinois senator also won caucuses in the Virgin Islands, completing his best night of the campaign."

Meanwhile: "Democratic presidential hopeful, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., wipes her eye as she listens to a disabled U.S. veteran in the audience tell his story during a campaign stop at The City of Lewiston Memorial Armory in Lewiston, Maine., Saturday, Feb. 9, 2008."

And let's not forget that Mike Huckabee embarrassed John McCain by besting him by nearly 3-1 in Kansas, and a narrow win in Louisiana.

McCain is currently leading in the Washington State caucus, but by the narrowest of margins and more people are voting for a combination of Romney or uncommitted than McCain.

Check CNN or Politico for updated results.

McCain's weakness in these contests is further proof of conservative disquiet over his nomination. Apparently, his speech on Thursday to the Conservative Political Action Conference won't be enough to convince conservatives that he is one of us.
