In case you missed it (or were listening to Winhouse all weekend and getting amped for the Grammys) both Obama and Huckabee won all their primaries and caucuses over the weekend; Obama took all 5, Huckabee won Louisiana and Kansas, and McCain won Washington with only 26% of the vote.
Louisiana held their primary over the weekend and the candidates who won the youth vote also won the primary! With the youth turnout doubling, Huckabee held 54% of the under 29ers compared to McCain's 32% and just barely won the primary with 43% to McCain's 42%. Obama won the under 29ers with 2/3 of the youth vote and beat Clinton overall with 57% to 36% of the vote.
Youth vote information on the primaries and caucuses are not yet available for Maine, Washington, and Nebraska.
Tomorrow it's the Potomac Primaries: Maryland, D.C. and Virginia! Doesn't that picture of the Potomac River just make you want to get a breath of fresh air and vote?
