U.S. Senator Barack Obama took all three state contests up for grabs on Saturday, dealing a blow to rival Hillary Rodham Clinton in the latest chapter of the Democratic battle for the presidential nomination.

Obama raked in more than double Clinton's support in Nebraska and Washington's caucuses plus easily winning Louisiana's primary.

Well, it's getting closer and closer every day, and it looks more and more like Obama could possibly take the Whitehouse. But it's still a close race as Hilary still took more delegates than Obama.

I really hope Obama wins cause some say if he doesn't win the nomination, they'll switch to McCain, and he kind of creeps me out.

Well it seems the Obama train is still on track as well as he takes the 'Potomac Primary' which includes Virginia, Maryland and District of Columbia. While there was no big surprises there, what did surprise people was that he cut seriously into Clinton's base of union workers, latinos, poor white, and older people. This should scare Clinton a bit going into Texas, Ohio and Pennsylvania, states she is banking all her capital on. Especially since she hasn't won a single state since Super Tuesday.

I do think that the McCain notion has a bit to do with it. People think Obama can beat McCain, but not Hilary.
