saturday night trifecta for obama

Sen. Barack Obama is projected to win all three Democratic contests tonight. Caucuses were held in Nebraska and Washington; the night's lone primary took place in Louisiana.
As of 11:08 PM EST, Sen. Hillary Clinton has 1099 delegates, Obama 1039. A candidate must receive a total of 2025 delegates to win the 2008 nomination.

"The stakes are too high and the challenges are too great to play the same old Washington game with the same old Washington players and expect a different result," Obama told a hugely pro-Obama crowd of Democrats at the Jefferson-Jackson dinner in Richmond, Virginia.

"People want to turn the page. They want to write a new chapter in American history."
