From BO's website

… Sharon Nethercott, elections supervisor for Teton County, said her office was very busy this week, after the Barack Obama campaign opened an office in Jackson. “I’d estimate we’ve registered 250-to-300 new voters this week.”

3. That kind of excitement could deliver Wyoming's congressional seat to the democrats

Gary Trauner almost won that seat in 2006, but Barbara Cubin pulled it out by less than a thousand votes. A democratic pickup would be a sure thing if Cubin were running again, but she's retiring. Still, the repubs will have a contested primary through August, while Trauner is the presumptive Dem nominee, and given that excitement among Dems is up all over while excitement among repubs is down, I think Wyoming has a great chance to send a democrat to the U.S. House for the first time since the late seventies.
