Washington is still in play for the Republicans

Louisiana is in play for both the reps and demos but Huck is leading a little and Obama is leading by large margins

Looks like Obama is set to win Louisiana as well.. I think this was expected though, several of the next few primary states also favor Obama.

Yea, most of these post-Tuesday primaries/caucuses slant towards Obama. The surprise would be if he loses. He can't lose a single state he was leading in or it'll seriously hurt his momentum and the media will shift towards Hillary.

I'll be updating my registration to vote in the NC Democratic primary.. The Republican contest is essentially over, so there's really no reason to participate in that one.. especially since I wont be voting for a Republican (as Paul wont get the nomination).

It was expected that he would though. He's winning by large margins, but if he wasn't.. that would be the story, that it was closer than it should have been.

expected yes but it hurts Hill - the moment is on Obama's side, this makes him look like a very strong candidate to the average voter

Word on the street here is that quite a few republicans in VA voted in the Dem primary for Obama.

I'm not sure what that means though. I generally lean more republican than Dem and I voted for Obama. Between McCain and Obama, I'm slightly more inclined to vote for Obama, but that could change in the next 9 months.
