The Maine Event.
Wow. Make that 5-for-5. Senator Obama wins the Maine caucus going away. (Final tally: 59%-40%.) I have to say, I didn't see this one coming -- I expected Sen. Obama to lose close. Either Obama's starting to pick up real momentum, the Clinton campaign is just terrible at caucuses (which doesn't speak well of Sen. Clinton's ability to "manage the bureaucracy"), or everyone severely misunderestimated the impact of the King endorsement.
Well, at any rate, good job by Team Obama in Maine, and hopefully the completed weekend sweep bodes well for Tuesday's big Chesapeake/Beltway primary: Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. Sen. Obama is favored in all, but, of course, nothing's certain, and the margins matter. (By the way, New Hampshire and Massachusetts? Not to rub it in, but the Pine Tree State just made y'all look kinda silly.)

i heard that missouri was the last super tuesday state to be called, so technically it's 6 for 6!
Thing is, if we add Mizzou to the equation, we'd have to factor in New Mexico...
What was the final result in New Mexico, anyway?
They're still counting, but it's a good bet Sen. Clinton will eke it out. She's up 1100 votes with all but the provisional ballots counted. Net delegate gain for Clinton there: 2. (14 to 12.)
