The Maine caucus went to Barack Obama, making him four-for-four in Democratic contests over the weekend. The weather was bad but turnout was good, as has been the case in the whole election season. Next big contests happen in Tuesday's Potomac Primary, as D.C., Maryland, and Virginia head to the polls. Virginia is the big deal, so keep an eye out.

Obama has swept today's state primaries, beating out Clinton in Louisiana, Nebraska, and Washington. Huckabee's not quite as likely to get a sweep, as he's a bit behind in Washington, but he's already been declared the victor in Kansas and Louisiana.

The Democratic and Republican primary races are each coming three states closer to having selected their candidate.

Yesterday was a surprising day. Whereas it was assumed that McCain had the nomination locked up, he became the presumptive nominee yesterday when Mitt Romney snuffed out his own campaign (and his dignity) on stage at CPAC.

MSNBC reports that Romney "will suspend" his presidential campaign. More as this develops. If you want something fun to speculate about, consider what this means for Huckabee's performance in Texas.

Exactly how do you miss on a three-billion dollar budget estimate by over a billion dollars?

Super Tuesday is over. Need I say more?

There's going to be plenty to examine tomorrow, but some of the finer points from this evening are immediately apparent.

At 98% of precincts reporting, Obama had just taken the vote lead in Missouri with about 4,000 votes. We're up to 99% of precincts as of approximately a minute ago, and his lead's gone up to 7,000. We're calling Missouri for Obama.

Looks like McCain's picked up California and Missouri. Romney's picked up Montana — not that it probably matters much; MSNBC's reporting (on TV; no link yet) that Romney's looking at having "frank discussions" about the state of the campaign tomorrow, and has already started canceling events after Thursday.
