This is shocking. Our Democrats are primarily ‘old time’ Democrats (conservative by today’s standard). I’ve seen a handful of Hillary signs and virtually no Obama signs. You could fit our black population into a Dixie cup. Most of us just assumed Hillary would take it. Obama skipped Cheyenne completely and headed straight to the younger votes in Casper & Laramie. It obviously worked.

BTW, we’re a far cry from ‘turning left’ in Wyoming (unlike CO & MT). That may change as Boomers retire and take refuge in our tax haven State that maintains it’s budget in the black. Here’s hoping the climate prevents that.

Also, I wouldn’t recommend referring to Wyoming as ‘Wyomey’ unless you’d like to speed up the process of kicking the bucket......LOL.

This is going to play out to some kind of devastating scenario for the Dems no matter what. It's all so even, all the way to May in the popular vote. Someone would have to graciously leave the race to stop the threat of division...(hint hint).

At best Obama only picks up 2 delegates in a caucus state. But, if he can follow through with a 60% - 40% win in the primary in Missisippi it will help him to pull away from her in delegates and it will add to his popular vote advantage.

It is over. Hillary can't catch him in pledged delegates.

After the WY and Mississippi primaries are finished by Tuesday, adding to Obama's lead and reducing the number of delegates in play to 567, Hillary will need even bigger victory margins than 63% to 37%. And then there is NC with 115 delgates at play with Obama clearly favored given the makeup of the Dem party in the state.

The math is clearly against Hillary. To deny it is just plain fantasy. How many states so far has Clinton won by margins of 63% or more? Answer: One [Arkansas]. How many states has Clinton won by margins of 56% or more? Answer: Four.

I've heard some rumors of a "superdelegate bomb" being dropped after the Miss primary. That is they are trying to get 50 superdelegates to announce their cupport for Obama in one announcement. The purpose is to try to get Hillary to see the futility of continuing on and fracture the party. I simply don't believe the democrat party elders are going to let her cause a civil war at the convention.

I think the bomb must be a slow leaker...he's picking them up by six or seven a day. They are adding up.

I hadn't check the numbers in several days and I was surprised at how many he has gotten.

I use Real Clear Politics. Last time I checked...not sure how long ago, maybe two weeks, I know Obama had at least 50 less super delegates than this week. That’s a pretty big chunk out of the 400+ that are left. Maybe they are just waiting for a large enough accumulation to drop the “bomb” in the news.

B.S.!

After all this is a Clinton in this campaign.

He!! or high water, "shystering" ways, murder, loss of sovereignty, what ever it takes, she WILL be the dimocratic nominee.

It's her only want in life. It "ain't" over until it's over.

Yes, but the small, insignificant town of Trier turned out to be the western-most terminus of the Mongol Invasion, too. Apparently, Wyoming natives (Post #61, & I'm sorry I don't know whether they're called Wyomingians or Wyominoids or what) are astounded at the result & reports indicate that what few humanoids are there were lined up in droves, itching to get into the cauci!

I thought these were a backward, closed-minded, intolerant and non-consciousness-raised people, cohabitating with bison after getting lost on the high plains during the great stampede to Californeee...
