Barack Obama Wins Three; Huckabee Takes Two in Saturday's Contests

Obama won Louisiana, Nebraska and Washington state-- he also won in the Virgin Islands.

Huckabee won Louisiana and Kansas; McCain won Washington state.

Even with these wins, McCain still has a significant lead in the number of Republican delegates. Barack Obama has a slight lead in delegates over Hillary Clinton but she has more superdelegates which puts her ahead.

As I mentioned before the Kansas win by Huckabee yesterday, McCain's real test will be whether he can appeal to the party base. For conservatives, there is still a choice in candidates. Right now, it looks like McCain still has some fences to mend with this voting block.
