I Can't Believe Clinton Lost Wyoming!

[slinkerwink]

How can she lose Wyoming, especially with its rural voters which she carried by a overwhelming margin in Ohio? Whatever happened to her momentum after Ohio? I'm beginning to be very concerned by the fact that her negative kitchen sink strategy was not enough to win Wyoming. She's won two caucus states before, Nevada and New Mexico, so why couldn't she win Wyoming? Is it only because the only caucus states she can win are the states with the letter "N" in their names? Please help me out, Obama supporters.

1. Because the whole thing was just not fair, damnit!

It was so unfair that it was just wrong. SHAME ON YOU, WYOMING.

[slinkerwink]

3. all you ranchers drink lattes and drive hybrid cars!

[JPZenger]

77. Yes, with their Lexus Pickup trucks, they don't need a president

[roguevalley]

86. They voted how they felt. Good grief. Is there ANY state that Hillary

people won't insult? Wyoming is a great state. They spoke.

[Lucinda]

2. LOL

She had a very nice day in Wyoming.

[slinkerwink]

7. yes, she did in losing such a beautiful state

[gristy]

4. slinkerwink!?

Oh, my gosh. Where have you been?

[slinkerwink]

9. on dailykos

[gristy]

[slinkerwink]

64. ha, yes, even though Steinem supports Hillary

I'm planning to put up a diff avatar after the nomination, or whichever candidate concedes.

[Barack_America]

6. In a word, sexism.

The people of Wyoming are profoundly sexist and have a strong desire to not count.

[fightthegoodfightnow]

8. No Surprise

I completely expected Obama to win.

Why would he not. He's always done better in what you characterize as 'rural' states.

His position or lack of position on guns (which I disagree with) also went in his favor as did what his ability to win in caucus states.

i support Obama but winning Wyoming is not a surprise.

[slinkerwink]

12. I thought it would be since there were no polls in WY

so I thought it would go Clinton's way after her kitchen sink strategy.

[undeterred]

10. I can't believe there are 1500 Democrats in Wyoming!

Who knew?

[seabeyond]

42. 1500. in all of wyoming, just 15. a joke huh?

see, ... i can be gullible enough to believe it just night be true living in amarillo texas, but all of wyoming, hard to believe only 1500. so this is a funny post huh. not factual

[undeterred]

66. Did you ever look at the Wyoming board at DU?

I'm from Wisconsin so I go there accidentally sometimes. Honestly I didn't think there were any Democrats in Wyoming. Or that maybe they only came out under cover of darkness.

[seabeyond]

67. lol lol. no havent looked. shhhheesh have been to texas only a couple times

hey, that is why i could buy it too. and felt stupid for believing it. i agree "came out under cover of darkness."

[undeterred]

74. afraid of running into dick cheney or his kind...

I know, its a beautiful state.

[seabeyond]

59. nu uh.... another thread says 59k

[sniffa]

11. heh heh heh

K&R for you. :thumbsup:

:hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

13. Ha! It's the African American latte drinking cowboys!

:rofl:

Hi you! :bounce:

[slinkerwink]

18. hi back!

It really does puzzle me why Clinton didn't win Wyoming especially after two such important wins, Ohio and Rhode Island.

[bicentennial_baby]

26. It is puzzling, no doubt

Glad to have you back, seriously. :)

[Pirate Smile]

35. Has she lost her MoJo? We will know more on Tuesday. If she can't win

Mississippi then we will know she couldn't close the deal.

[JVS]

21. I posted this in another thread. It's time to quit pretending there aren't black cowboys

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2UprOyqD8o

[slinkerwink]

24. black cowboys rock!

[bicentennial_baby]

28. Oh, I know there are/were

:toast:

[JVS]

30. It's time for America to realize the long denied political will of the black cowboys!

GOBAMA!

[bhikkhu]

25. Its a vast Starbuck's conspiracy. n/t

[JVS]

32. Operation Latte Thunder

[hell-bent]

41. Wow!

He had about 1400 more African American latte drinking cowboys voting for him then Clinton did,eh. Ha,ha,ha,ha......

[JPZenger]

78. Actually were many African-American Cowboys

I know they never showed up in the John Wayne movies, but there actually were a large number of African-American cowboys in the Old West.

[FrenchieCat]

14. Maybe because Hope trumps Fear?

[slinkerwink]

17. I don't know. Hope is a funny thing :-)

[IsItJustMe]

55. We can only hope.

[JTFrog]

16. Wyoming doesn't count!!! n/t

[Crooked Moon]

19. OH NO!

ms. clinton might lose by 2 (even 3!) delegates. it's a disaster and proof positive that the momentum is squarely back on obama's side. at this rate, he'll clinch the nomina--- oh wait, he *can't* clinch the nomination through pledged delegates.

[snappyturtle]

27. Neither can Hillary and last I checked he's way ahead on pledged delegates! n/t

[JVS]

29. Well since she only had a net gain of 12 delegates in Ohio, this takes a significant bite out of it

[Crooked Moon]

50. heh

pledged delegate counting is so february.

we're through the looking-glass now; it's all about the superdelegates.

[Upton]

20. All the men are misogynists and the women are black

[slinkerwink]

22. that explains why!

[lligrd]

23. Wyoming Is Sexist! nt

[fightthegoodfightnow]

33. Oh Good Grief

Here we go again.

So what. Perhaps it is. Do you think Obama is using race as an excuse for not winning a state?

All these charges of sexism as an excuse for not winning reminds me of a campaign with a heavy lead weight around it's ankles as it drowns itself in it's own pity.

There is a unique difference between how sex and race have played in both campaigns and the only campaign using either as an excuse for losing is the Clinton campaign.

[seabeyond]

48. All these charges of sexism...i agree and it pisses me off. big issue and they are abusing it, BUT

i think the person was being sarcastic. wink. he/she seems to be an obama supporter

[fightthegoodfightnow]

53. Whoops

Ok....... me bad.

Apologies.

[lligrd]

52. Um, I Think The Entire Thread Is Under The Sarcasm

umbrella. Didn't think I had to add the smilie.

[fightthegoodfightnow]

54. Whoops II

Ok....... me bad.

Apologies.

[lligrd]

57. No Problem - It Is Difficult To Tell These Days nt

[hell-bent]

31. Oh, she lost it by about 1400 votes!

Wow, what a sweep by Obama! Compare that to what Obama lost Ohio. These rinky-dinky caucus states don't represent the will of the Democratic voters. Let him win Pennsylvania; then, I will say bravo! He should be the nominee.....

[dave29]

37. considering only 400-500 people showed up for the last Dem caucus in Wyoming

I'd say he beat her resoundingly.

[hell-bent]

49. God, Yes,

That 1400 vote was absolutely a "resoundingly"victory! :sarcasm: How much did Obama spend per voter to get that overwhelming victory? Ha,ha,ha.....How do you think Wyoming will play out in the GE? :>)

[Tarheel_Dem]

58. spell & grammar check is your friend....nt

:eyes:

[ClericJohnPreston]

68. Gee Frenchie

you really like to jump into the "FREY" ( emphasis added ). It is a scary thing when you comment on spelling.

[Tarheel_Dem]

75. yo' momma?

:shrug:

[cloudythescribbler]

34. New Mexico I believe was a primary state, not a caucus nt

[slinkerwink]

60. it indeed was a caucus

[Diane R]

36. Hillary CAMPAIGNED in Wyoming! Didn't she even try to win? I don't understand how she lost.

[DJ13]

38. Hillary forgot that Starbucks means even poor folk drink lattes now

:rofl:

[mzmolly]

43. Well hello Slinkerwink!

Long time no see! :hi:

[slinkerwink]

61. hey! :-)

[TheCowsCameHome]

45. Cheney pulled some strings.

[Cha]

46. I was actually wondering the same thing,

slinkerwink, of the Dean Daze! :hi: One might think all that dlc crap would go over with conservative Dems which I thought were residing in Wyomin'!?

But Noooooooooo..

<snip>

Her husband, Dave Freudenthal, is a popular two-term Democratic governor in a state that is dominated by Republicans. He has not publicly endorsed either candidate and his wife was reluctant to state her preference (though their 21-year-old daughter Katie was holding an Obama sign).

The crowd, said Nancy Freudenthal, "is nothing I expected. At Democratic events in Wyoming, you tend to see the same worker bees over and over. Today I see tons of new faces. This has great potential to revive the Democratic Party."

At about 9:25 a.m., Karpan took the microphone to nominate her candidate, Clinton. She would be followed by Ken McCauley, a retired Air Force pilot, who would nominate Obama.
