Obama favored to build delagate lead with caucus wins in 5 heavily GOP states -AK/ID/ND/CO/KS

"Obama, . . . who last week was rated the Senate's most liberal member by National Journal magazine, is favored to win most of the five Republican strongholds -- Alaska, Idaho, North Dakota, Colorado and Kansas -- holding caucuses."
