Big Weekend for Obama and Huckabee

Great news for Obama, with big wins in all three states on February 9.

Obama won by more than 60% in both caucus states. It seems that his streak of winning in caucuses is more than a fluke. Why he does so well in Caucuses as opposed to primaries I'm not sure, but it's a consistent pattern. We'll see after Today's Maine caucus. It neighbors New Hampshire, which Hillary won in a primary earlier, and it's not seen as a particularly strong state for Obama.

The big news is the continuing Republican disaffection with McCain. Huckabee's win in Louisiana is unsuprising, but 60% win in Nebraska is interesting. And McCain won in Washington with only 26%.

UPDATE: Additional speculation over at Washington Monthly here.
