Recent primary results

Obama won the Louisiana, Nebraska and Washington primaries last night.

Huckabee won the Kansas and Washington primaries, while McCain won the Washington primary.

Obama pulled closer to Clinton in total number of delegates achieved reaching 1,049 while she sits at 1,108. Huckabee elevated his number of delegates to 217, while McCain finished Saturday with 714. The Democrats need 2,025 total delegates to win the nomination, and the Republicans need 1,191.

The Maine Democrat primary is today, and the Washington D.C., Maryland and Virginia primaries are on Tuesday. Huckabee's starting to make the race interesting, especially with Mississippi, North Carolina and Kentucky primaries coming up, and the former governor of Arkansas is looking at the Texas primary to really boost his campaign. Obama, on the other side, is really gaining momentum.

It appears that McCain will likely get the nomination, but things happen. I really don't know who's going to take the nomination in either party.
