Obama Rolls

Barack Obama swept all five contests this weekend, taking Washington, Louisiana, Nebraska, Maine, and the Virgin Islands. This wasn't just a sweep, but rather a pounding - as he took 59% -70% in the 4 states, and 90% in the Virgin Islands.

This puts added rpessure on the Clinton camp in Virginia and Wisconsin, perhaps the only two states in a string of ten since Super Tuesday has a chance of winning. (Virginia, Maryland, and D.C. vote in the "Potomac Primaries" on Tuesday).

Wisconsin and Hawaii vote a week from tuesday, both of which are leaning towards Obama. The Illinois senator spent his formative years in Hawaii and is considered a bit of a native son, and Wisconsin has a history of voting very progressively inthe Democratic primary.

Clinton has fired her campaign manager and now must focus on getting wins in Ohio and Texas on March 4th - hoping to stop the flood of wins by Obama.
