Huckabee takes Alabama

Mike Huckabee has taken the Alabama caucuses, giving him 48 additional delegates.

Big win for Huckabee, as it shows he can still pull votes and be an influence at the convention when the eventual winner gets the crown placed upon his head.

Breaking: Barack Obama has won the Minnesota Democratic caucuses, with 88 delegates on the line. They will be divided proportionally amongst the two, but Barack will get about 2/3.

Mitt Romney is speaking right now, declaring he will go on and lead his campaign right into the Republican National Convention, to win the nomination.

With the kinds of numbers we've seen here today, it doesn't seem likely that's the case.

Obama wins Alabama, Huckabee showing strong

Barack Obama has won Alabama, with over 2/3 of the vote, reports CNN. He is also leading in Idaho, North Dakota, and Minnesota.

Obama is matching Clinton step-for-step and state-for-state. This is increasingly looking like it will continue past today's vote.

Huckabee is still winning Georgia, although Romney is doing well in the urban areas, and McCain is doing well in the military areas. Votes are still being counted, and not much is changing right now. It will be down to the wire here.

Huckabee is also winning in Missouri and Minnesota, and it looks like Mitt Romney's chances fade every time another breaking result pours in.
