Hillary Clinton's campaign is casting her not-entirely-disastrous showing in the Wyoming caucuses as a victory.
Clinton's campaign manager Maggie Williams said, "We are thrilled with this near split in delegates and are grateful to the people of Wyoming for their support. Although the Obama campaign predicted victory in Wyoming weeks ago, we worked hard to present Senator Clinton’s vision to the caucus-goers and we thank them for turning out today."
Waitasec...
I thought victories in red states, small-population states and caucus states were irrelevant...?
I guess losses there somehow rock the house?

And it’s popular vote, not delegates, that matters in Texas.

It's just a variant of a classic cold-war era joke about the reporting of the Soviet press vis a vis US-Soviet competition. For example:
"If the US won first-place in a two-man competition, e.g. the Fischer-Spassky World Chess Championship, and the USSR came in second, 'Pravda' and 'Izvestia' would headline their news stories 'USSR wins Second Place, US places next to last'".

This reminds me of growing up in Stony Point in downstate New York where the local newspaper for the county, The Journal News, was based in Nyack and covered sports in a Nyack-centric manner giving rise to similar headlines to this one such as Nyack Loses and Nyack Edged in OT.

Hey, Hillary came in second in TX in terms of delegates won, but the MSM still touts it as a victory for Hillary.

Clinton came in second only because a third person wasn’t running.

That’s nothing. Hillary once came in third in a beauty contest in which there was only one other girl. The microphone came in second.

Well, what do you expect? Obama and Dick Cheney are related and Cheney is very popular in Wyoming!
