Obama crushes Clinton in Washington and Nebraska; Louisiana polls closing momentarily

Barack Obama has won, and won big already tonight in Washington and Nebraska. The polls in Louisiana are scheduled to close in about two minutes at 9pm. While the Democratic delegates are proportional, Obama has won so big in both Nebraska and Washington (around 70% or so so far) that Clinton likely won't get too much out of either state. Obama is expected to win Louisiana as well.

UPDATE: CNN reports that based on exit polling Barack Obama is ahead of Hillary Clinton in the LA primary.

UPDATE II: NBC news is reporting the Republican Louisiana primary is "too close to call."

UPDATE III: Mike Huckabee leading John McCain in Louisiana 44% to 38% with 11% reporting while Obama leading Clinton 52% to 38% with 10% reporting. In Washington state McCain is leading Huckabee 27% to 26% while Ron Paul is pulling about 21% with 16% reporting.

UPDATE IV: MSNBC projecting Obama will win Louisiana. Still waiting on results from the U.S. Virgin Islands, but Obama is projected to have taken two out of the three delegates there as well.

UPDATE V: CNN now projecting Obama as the winner of Louisiana as well. Obama currently leads Clinton with 53% of the vote.

UPDATE VI: Obama actually carried all three of the delegates from the U.S. Virgin Islands.
