Latest Dem polls:

For this weekend's upcoming states, and Tuesday's as well, it's hard to find concrete numbers but I've been working on this all week (yes, I even created a spreadsheet).

Virginia (voting Tuesday): Obama 59%, Clinton 39%
Maryland (voting Tuesday): Obama 52%, Clinton 33%

Nebraska (voting tomorrow) is favoring Obama.
Louisiani (voting tomorrow) is favoring Obama.
Maine is split so far....but it's a caucus, and Obama does well in caucus states.

Hi bu,

The Washington State caucus date is tomorrow 2/9. The Washington State Primaries are 2/19.

In this state the Republicans allocate 1/2 of their delegates based on caucus results, and 1/2 of their delegates based on primary results. The Democrats allocate all of their delegates based on caucus results and ignore primary results. So tomorrow is the big day for Washington Democrats. That's why Obama, Hillary & McCain were here today rallying their supporters (or fundraising in McCain's case).

Thank you, Jeffbr, for clarifying that for me. I can't tell you how surprised I was when putting my calendar and poll spreadsheet together today to find two conflicting reports.

What a wacky system your state has, LOL.

But then again, maybe it's a good thing. Narrow down the support first, through a caucus, and then get the supporters behind the caucus winner.

Gee, maybe we should all do it like that!

Now the visits to WA make more sense.

One article i read, (i don't remember where) had no actual poll numbers but said Obama has a very good chance at winning the next 8 contests! Lets hope he not only wins, but by large margins. i'm off in just a few minutes to do my small part.
