CASPER, Wyo. - Sen. Barack Obama captured the Wyoming Democratic caucuses Saturday, seizing a bit of momentum in the close, hard-fought race with rival Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton for the party's presidential nomination.


Obama generally has outperformed Clinton in caucuses, which reward organization and voter passion more than do primaries. The Illinois senator has now won 13 caucuses to Clinton's three.

Obama has also shown strength in the Mountain West, winning Idaho, Utah, Colorado and now Wyoming. The two split Nevada, with Clinton winning the popular vote and Obama more delegates.

2. and +2 from California, +3 from texas, +1 from Illinois'

new and improved SUPERDELEGATE Congressman Elect Jim FOSTER!

I do believe that means a net of +8.

4. the post says from Wyoming, which is a net of 2 for Obama

you know that's what the OP was originally meant to covey. The results from Wyoming.

5. and, as vote totals go, it is also accurate

giving Barack 7 more towards 2025.

6. the 2025 he'll be unable to reach by votes cast alone.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

7. even if we use Diaboldical methods of counting?

9. that meme seems, these days, to be the last refuge

of losers.

8. I've read Clinton netted 4 delegates, Obama 7

The real news is that he won in a landslide.

12. Please, it's pronounced and spelled BARACKSLIDE

3. Don't forget education

Obama is clearly winning the vote of the more educated. Something that the HRC supporters like to forget.

10. But WY isn't part of the United States of Clinton (ie Ohio)

11. The map has been redrawn by Clintonian cartographers

Remember 'Jesusland' and 'The United States of Canada'? Now we have 'Mattersland' and 'Notcountya'
