Obama Wins Nebraska, Washington & Louisiana...

...and the Clinton Camp spins.

The latest Clinton Campaign spin, straight from the press office, in an email to reporters that seeks to set the expectations for the night:

Tonight there are contests in three states that the Obama campaign has long predicted they would win by large margins. According to a spreadsheet that was obtained by Bloomberg News, the Obama campaign predicted big victories in Washington State, Nebraska and Louisiana.
The Obama campaign has dramatically outspent our campaign in these three states, saturating the airwaves with 30 and 60 second ads. The Obama campaign has spent $300,000 more in Louisiana on television ads, $190,000 more in Nebraska and $175,000 more in Washington.
Although the next several states that hold nominating contests this month are more favorable to the Obama campaign, we will continue to compete in them and hope to secure as many delegates as we can before the race turns to Ohio, Texas and Pennsylvania.
And this through Bob Cesca from the Obama website:

The Obama campaign submitted an urgent request for assistance to the Secretary of State's Division of Elections today, after receiving widespread reports from Democrats across Louisiana who reported that they were not allowed to vote because their party affiliation had been switched.
Is this being reported? Why is it that we worry ourselves about every fucking Iraqi purple finger but we let this shit happen in our own country while shugging our shoulders?! It's disgusting.

Looks like Huckabee is ahead in LA too.
