I’ll be on and off all day blogging on Significant Saturday — the Louisiana primary and Nebraska and Washington caucuses.

Things are looking pretty good for Obama for the most part. He’s won the delegate count in all eight caucuses, and Louisiana is very similar to both Alabama and Georgia when it comes to Democratic voters. Do keep in mind, however, that Hillary Clinton has advantages as well. Washington is heavily populated with females and Asians, and Nebraska is almost entirely White. This should be a good day, but by no means an easy one.

On the Republican side, Mike Huckabee just was declared the projected winner in Kansas by CNN. Which leads me to this question: How big of a threat can John McCain actually be when half of the GOP is fighting rallying around him?

Anyone else see that CNN Louisiana Democratic exit poll? This is the first time I have ever seen Clinton supporters more dissatisfied with Obama hypothetically winning the ticket than vice versa. I’m not going to be shy here — I chalk that up to racist Southern Whites. That’s all it can be, because what I’ve seen up until now has been the exact opposite. I know I won’t vote for HRC without BHO on the ticket, and even then I’d be conflicted because of her vote to authorize the Iraq war.

Barack Obama is up in Washington 66-33 percent with 27 percent of the vote in. The fat lady might not be singing, but she’s warming up her vocal chords…

More good news: Obama is up huge — almost 40 points — in Nebraska with over 70 percent of the vote in! They could call these any minute…

CNN has just called Nebraska for Barack Obama, and it looks like it will be a landslide victory. Huge win, because BHO will get the majority of the delegates!

It’s just bewildering that BHO continues to win these caucuses in states with lily-white populations by such wide margins. I mean, if he wins by 40 percent and was once down by 20, then that’s a 20-point swing. Simply amazing.

Washington has been called by the Wolfman. Now we’re just waiting to see the delegate counts and Louisiana. I’m thinking hat trick!

Still no word on Louisiana, but the exit polls look extremely good…

HAT TRICK! MSNBC has called Louisiana for Obama. It also looks like he will take the Virgin Islands…

Summing tonight up, it couldn’t have gone much better for Obama. According to MSNBC’s Chuck Todd — who I consider the Yoda of delegate math and projections — Obama wound up with 40 more delegates than Hillary tonight. The Obama camp says 45. Either way, he is up by 50-plus now in the pledged delegate count, and only trails HRC by 20-40 when super delegates are added in. Also keep in mind that there are still like 500 supers left out there who remain uncommitted. To quote Batman Begins, it’s all a bit technical, but the important thing is our country looks like it will end up in good hands. You lost tonight, Hillary. Big. Didn’t ya get the memo?

Let’s enjoy tonight and hope that we can get at least three of the next four (Maine and the Beltway/Chesapeake/Crabcake/Potomac Primary — how many names does that thing have?).

The Nevada Democratic caucuses have begun. Barack Obama is up early 48 percent to 46, but Hillary Clinton once led by 25 points in this state, so it will be tough. Regardless, Obama has shown that he’s a fighter and he will at the very least make a strong showing heading into South Carolina, a state I expect him to win.

More thoughts later in the day…
