    Is anyone surprised? I am interested in Mississippi. I hear weirdly conflicting stories about it...

    Either Clinton's semi-competitive or highly not competitive. Go figure. :) Personally, I would put money on highly not. The state's demographics aren't a profile of Hillaryland.

    Too bad Obama cant win the nomination. Its going to be up to the super-delegates. Not the people.

    Anyone else find it strange that a black man wins in Wyoming?

    This shows the power of Obama to possibly win Republican states or swing states......

    it has changed my opinion of Wyoming to say the least :)

    Maybe they can get Obama to lay down at some point, and run a miniature version of the flag up his erect penis....

    that would clinch it...
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    Tuesday, Obama has to win in Penn to move some superdelegates to his side.

    I am basing it on my limited knowledge of Wyoming.....

    I know that Dick Cheney is from Wyoming....

    I know that Wyoming is more rural than anything else....

    I know that Clinton usually beats Obama in rural districts and he wins in urban districts (look at Texas for a prime example).....

    I know that Wyoming is probably 95% white...

    I know that a couple of dudes dragged a gay guy behind their truck and killed him in Wyoming (and I assume that those dudes would do it a black guy if they had access to one).....


    All that considered I would not expect a black guy with Obama's name and background could win by so much in Wyoming...

    I think the dragging guys were in Texas, where a few whites dragged a black guy tied to their truck, for a mile or so. Wyoming, I believe, is where a couple guys beat killed a gay man, and left him tied to a fence, or something appalling like that.

    I don't understand. This was a Democrat caucus result, so the voters were Democrats. How does that translate to Obama winning a general election in Wyoming? He may very well do so, but I don't see how today's results say anything about that.

    Overall Obama is getting record turn out of voters in primaries in republican and swing states

    in Wyoming there were around 7500 votes cast today compared about 675 in 2004 i would say that is significant...

    the reason why Dems have done bad in the past in certain states or regions is because they can not turn out the vote.... this year, with Obama running people are voting in record numbers....

    is it cuz of him? we will see

    I agree about Wyoming. But I think he has a shot to win a few states that tend to go republican. Maybe not Wyoming, but I think he's a game changer in some of the deep south states, states that have a large % of African Americans.
