[Zachstar]

http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/state/#WY

100 percent reporting now!

Congrats everyone! We needed to break through 60 percent! This is a huge win now!

Perhaps more supers will go to Obama now!

[featherman]

1. Wow - Teton County!!!

[Zachstar]

Indeed check this out!

919 to Clinton's 231! A HUGE win there for Obama!

I hope that breeching 60 percent will help Obama win more supers in the next few days!

Congrats everyone! The perceived Clinton momentum is GONE!!

[Cha]

41. "Perceived" is right, Zach.by those

whose meal ticket depends on the hilarywagon keeping its wheels afloat.

[Zachstar]

44. The media and the right ring talk shows.

Oh BTW please call me Zach or Zachstar..

[Cha]

46. Sorry, I spelled

it wrong..dangerously unobservant! :D

[Peregrine Took]

57. Abso-frigging-lutley! Rich, no SUPER rich Cheney neighbors for Obama!

Let's open the Dom Perignon!!

[4themind]

2. back to the 20%+ winning ways

[Quixote1818]

12. I don't think he ever missed a beat. He was always on track

and Ohio was just a road bump.

[Zachstar]

18. Ohio was a road bump.. Texas went for Obama in delegates!

[Quixote1818]

21. True. nt

[Ichingcarpenter]

3. Hillary gets 38% ? Where is

the other 2% going?

[Zachstar]

6. Uncommitted has 1 percent

[Ichingcarpenter]

13. It just changed from 60 to 61

but 38 remained the same.

Interesting

[4themind]

7. He had 61% and there was a 1% vote going to "Uncommitted"

edit: my bad, we posted at the same time hehe

[Renew Deal]

1% Uncommitted 1% Lee Mercer

[alteredstate]

43. Yep --- that accounts for the remaining 1 percent.

:crazy:

[Cha]

62. OT..but, your little

hypnotoad is so cute, Ichingcarpenter.

[Quixote1818]

4. When I see this I really question how Hillary won rural Texas. nt

[skipos]

5. Those damn latte drinking african americans did it to Hillary again! nt

[0007]

40. It may have been those hopped up black cowboys?

[TexasLady]

8. Great News!!

I was hoping that'd happen!

[Zachstar]

14. It is amazing news! This reverses ANY kind of talk about Clinton momentum!!

Perhaps now Obama can get the many supers thinking about going public!

[catgirl]

59. Yes, Plus Bill and Hillary campaigned there more than Obama did

I think they thought they might actually win. Hehe.

[Zachstar]

63. And they will campaign HARD in Mississippi!

They know that if they lose big in Mississippi the race is pretty much over. The party leaders will not stand by for more than a month while Clinton continues to tear apart the party. I think they will endore Obama and the superdelegates will switch.

So the Clinton's will do their worst and we must expose them for what they really are and fight hard against their bullcrap.

[New Dawn]

9. Thank you Wyoming!

Now it is Mississippi's turn to crush the right-wing Clintons.

[Zachstar]

22. Amen!!!

We have alot of work to do as we continue to expose clinton and get out the vote! However this HUGE win in Wyoming has stopped any chance of her going into that state with any kind of Momentum!

A great night to be a democrat!!

[DUyellow]

10. heck yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MoJoWorkin]

11. Yes!!! Grand Teton put us over the top.

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

16. THANK YOU TETON!!!

20. The Washington Post doesn't understand "Fly-over country" and I guess you don't either.

Good luck with that.

[Zachstar]

24. Him or someone like him has been going around spamming that all over the place.

The Clinton supporters are BACK to square one!

[bleowheels]

50. You are right. I hafta admit that it seems that there are fewer Hillary supporters around tonight.

I could get used to this.

[Zachstar]

58. No! Do not get used to it!

DO NOT GET LAZY!!

We must work even extra hard now to help Obama win on the 11th!! The people of Wyoming have given us their vote and we must go with it and not let it be stopped!

It is extremely important that Obama wins Mississippi on the 11th. If he does not Clinton will claim more BS momentum and the chances of her exiting before APRIL 22nd is very low. That will be more than a whole month of bull from the Clinton Campaign that we will have to deal with while the republicans dance all the way to the bank. So we must continue to expose Clinton for what she is and work to encourage the vote there!

[bleowheels]

70. Yes, good point, duly noted. nt

[Kittycat]

25. Quit spamming. - Alerted

You've posted this in multiple threads.

[sniffa]

30. Is Ignored still spamming?

:shrug:

[Kittycat]

38. Yes. I took several down to semi-ignore the other day.

And immediately had to add one back to full ignore. I might have to add this one back, but figured alerting them a few times for excessive spamming and trying to circumvent the 3 post rule first would be worth it.

[Gore1FL]

36. Time to debunk this again

I sure have to cut and paste this post a lot...

1> The process is set up in a way to represent Democrats from across the nation. Delegates are proportioned to Democratic votes in the last three elections and electoral votes
as shown here:

http://www.thegreenpapers.com/P08/D-Alloc.phtml

The big state Blue state argument has already been accounted for in that proportion.

2> Now more than ever, all 50 states matter. The 50-states is part of the DNC program since 2005, and has shown to be a sound model with the pickup of the house and Senate in the very first election since its implementation.

Here is the DNC policy:

The Democratic Party is committed to winning elections at every level in every region of the country, and we're getting started right now with a massive effort to fund organizers on the ground in every state.

The ultimate goal? An active, effective group of Democrats organized in every single precinct in the country.

http://www.democrats.org/a/party/a_50_state_strategy /

3> Knowing that all states are impiortant, and know that delegates are distributed to their electoral votes and record in Democratic elections we see what is truly amazing about the 100-175 pledged delegate lead Obama takes to the convention: Even with winning Red states as part of of the states he has won, Obma has still has managed to win what can only be viewed as an insurmountable lead due to the limited number of remaining contests, especially considering a majority of those likely to fall in his column.

4> One cannot base the outcome of the general election on primary wins. This can be seen by loking at the Survey USA polls and electoral maps. Currently those maps show Obama beating McCain 280 to 258 in the general election, and Clinton beating McCain 276 to 262.

http://www.surveyusa.com /

5> Further analysis makes this even more interesting. By taking states that McCain only leads Obama by ONLY 3 points, the following "Red" states become battleground states:
FL, NE, NC, SC, TX, and VA which put a total of 102 Red state electors in play. If you increase the margin to 5%, you can add six total electors from ND and SD.
That looks like Obama can win more than enough of the big battleground states.

6> There is no historical precedent, and no current compelling reason, especially in light of the above, for Super Delegates to overturn the expensive contests of the primary/caucus season, neglecting the efforts of the campaign volunteers, the candidates and staff to install the second place candidate who trails at the convention by a minimum of 12% of the total super delegate count.

No realistic scenario exists for Clinton to win the nomination. No realistic scenario exists for Obama to lose the General.

[bleowheels]

17. Yes, thank you Teton County and thank you Wyoming. My state doesn't vote until..

June 3rd (South Dakota) and I hope that we can represent the Democratic Party as well as Wyoming did.

[Cha]

68. Yeah, good luck with that..

to all of us. There are some politicians who've endorsed Obama in South Dakata..Tom Daschle and Stephanie Herseth Sandlin has a really nice endorsement for Obama..

Congresswoman Stephanie Herseth Sandlin has decided to endorse Barack Obama for president.

Herseth Sandlin originally endorsed John Edwards, but he withdrew from the Democratic race last month.

Herseth Sandlin says Obama, a senator from Illinois, will capitalize on what South Dakota's communities, families and entrepreneurs have to offer.

Herseth Sandlin says her decision was based primarily on Obama's interest in promoting renewable energies and his interest in talking to her in detail about those issues.

She says Obama's rival, Hillary Clinton, did not talk with her -- but that she had a long, detailed talk with Obama.
She joins the state's other Democrats in supporting Obama.

http://www.keloland.com/News/NewsDetail6375.cfm?Id=0,66851

[bleowheels]

71. Yeah, my Democratic congregation makes me proud.

They usually represent the state of South Dakota well.

[zonkers]

23. MSNBC pundits minimalized the win. Fox had huge graphic showing of a dead-heat national poll even

after 95 percent of votes were in. (They showed Wyoming primary numbers on the bottom left of screen, real small) Bottom line -- you'd never know e trounced her by 20 points.

[Quixote1818]

26. MSM wants a horse race for ratings. I think most people understand this,

and it certainly won't change their vote. In fact, if the MSM makes it seem close, it will just motivate Obama voters to get out and vote.

[Zachstar]

28. You have a great point!!

Let us hope for a HUGE turnout!!

[Zachstar]

27. They can spin it all they like. The word will spread of her big defeat and the people will know.

I think one of the biggest wins was the fact that Clinton can no longer tout the bullshit about Obama as VP to sway voters who think he might not make the nomination.

OBAMA is STRONG!
OBAMA is LEADING!
OBAMA is WINNING!

[Cali_Democrat]

29. with only 12 contests to go national polls are pretty much meaningless

They really don't tell us anything. The media is so fucking stupid its scary.

[Zachstar]

34. Polls are indeed very bad this year!

[New Dawn]

33. Corporate media wants Clinton to win the nomination...

So that their beloved John McCain can easily win the election.

[Zachstar]

42. Well we are working to expose Clinton before the repubs get their chance to expose her in the GE

These next few days we must work hard at supporting Obama and exposing Clinton so that voters will again be educated on what Clinton is really about. Stuff like her IWR vote and the Cluster Bomb Vote needs to be talked about and exposed as well as the many things in the Clinton past.

It is time to get to work everyone!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

31. Another blowout! Sweet!

[Zachstar]

37. One that takes away any chance to say that Clinton has any kind of momentum.

Today has been an absolute disaster for the Clinton Campaign..

#1 They lost
#2 They were already going into Wyoming with Obama leading net 1 delegate with the results in this week.
#3 They were going in knowing Texas went to Obama in delegates meaning their Momentum was stalling.
#4 They had to keep their momentum up to have a better chance in upcoming races.
#5 They lost the ability to try to trick voters with the Obama as VP bullcrap. The voters now know Obama is fully in the lead and has the momentum now.

#6 Obama actually has momentum now.

[MindMatter]

51. Especially considering Mississippi is next up

and that's probably another 60-40 result. There ought to be another 30-50 superdelegates come in line bore Pennsylvania. If that happens, the numbers will be looking pretty clear cut so that even the MSM will have to see the Clinton strategy as futile, self-serving, and divisive.

[Zachstar]

60. 60-40 in Mississippi will be awesome!!

However let us assume that Clinton is winning there with huge numbers and we need to work hard to get out the support for Obama!

These 2 states are critical now! The results from the 11th could mean the end of this race and finally a chance to work against the REAL problem which is the Republicans.

Time to get to work everyone!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

61. Hillary will claim victory in Mississippi if she manages to crack 30%.

[Zachstar]

64. And she will be laughed at..

The Major Media knows that they will have squeezed every last bit of ratings out of Clinton by the 11th. By then I think they will start moving to getting the better ratings by watching the democratic candidate duke it out with the republicans.

[Barack_America]

32. 80-20...Dayum! Now that's what I call a mandate! n/t

[Zachstar]

47. To win!

Those people are giving us their trust. Trust that we will continue this wave of change and build it so high that the republicans can do nothing to stop it.

We must take that trust and hope and work towards a better tomorrow by working today. There are great things coming and I intend to do what I can to help those along so that the young ones in my family will have a great tomorrow! For now we must work on Getting Obama in and the notion that he needs Clinton as VP the hell OUT..

On a side note I have a hope here that Edwards is watching this and is thinking about fully endorsing Obama. I think that after the 11th he will be in a good position to give his support with the hope that Obama will choose him as VP. I think we need Edwards to resonate the wave and build it towards a better tomorrow.

[RichardRay]

35. O-61%, C-38%, Uncommitted-1%

You can declare Uncommitted in our convention/caucus system.

I'm not suprised at the 80/20 split in Teton County, Obama had lots of ground game here. It's gonna be a shock for those folks - they leave here (where the temp at 6 AM this morning was -2F with several feet of snow on the ground) and head for Mississippi! Good luck, don't forget where you are when you pick out clothes to wear!

[Zachstar]

39. The 80/20 split was amazing!

If I am not mistaken it was the only blue county in the 2004 election no?

[RichardRay]

54. 2004 was strong D in Teton County

I don't know that we can carry the state in the Presidential race, but we've got a very good shot at replacing our lone R representative with Gary Trauner, a D who lives just down the road from me.

[annie1]

45. does anyone know what the delegate breakdown will be? 8/4, 7/5?

[Quixote1818]

48. Probably 7 to 4. nt

[Zachstar]

49. 7/4 according to to CNN

So 3 net delegates to bring the net of this week to 4.

With the new results coming in from other states Obama went into Wyoming with a net gain of 1.

So it has been a pretty great week for Obama!

[annie1]

66. thanks. the post estimated it at 9/3 2 days ago, so i'll take the 7/4. :D

[Zachstar]

74. 7/4 is good and the stopping of the Clinton momemtum is even better!

[danimich1]

53. Delegate count:

According to Wyoming paper,
Obama 7
Clinton 5

CNN is showing Obama 7, Clinton 4

[dailykoff]

52. Beautiful place, Teton County

Thank you!!!!!!

:patriot: :thumbsup: :toast:

[catgirl]

55. That is great!!! Funny, did you see Romney won by a landslide?

How embarrassing for McCain.

[Zachstar]

65. Indeed!

I bet he will pitch an even bigger fit now that he is closer to throwing his plans against the democratic candidate away because those plans were for Clinton.

[boppers]

67. catgirl, you missed something...

January 5th was when they held the (R) caucus in WY. :)

[Frank Booth]

56. "This is a huge win now!"

No. A 22 point win is not huge.

Not like a 3 point win with a loss in delegate total. Now, that's a huge win!

[skooooo]

69. net 3 gain for OBAMA!!!

[Zachstar]

72. Indeed! A great week for Obama!

He came back from HUGE Clinton leads in the polls in some states to get a net gain for the week.

Yet while this is a great week for Obama we must not forget that the big gamble for Clinton is Mississippi. She will stop at nothing to slime her way to a victory there.

#1 Do not get lazy.

#2 Watch out for mines her Campaign sets in the media. The biggest one so far the idea of Obama for VP.

#3 Get ready for another attack ad like the 3AM ad. It worked for her once.. There is little reason to think she will not do it again.

[FogerRox]

73. I have to admit, that is a bit of a drubbing.

[Singular73]

75. Wyoming doesn't count

Because Hillary didn't win it. All states that Obama wins can't possible count to any rational person.
