Presidential candidate Barack Obama continues to make history. As if the momentum on his campaign was not strong enough already, the results from the February 9th primaries/caucuses further increased his viability in the race.

Obama won all three states (Washington, Nebraska, and Louisiana) and the Virgin Islands by a substantial margin:
Washington - Obama 68%, Clinton 31%
Nebraska - Obama 68%, Clinton 32%
Louisiana - Obama 57%, Clinton 36%
