26% in

Obama   57%
Clinton 41%

I guess this close result goes to show how idiotic Clinton was in ignoring caucus states in a proportional system.

26% represents just six counties reporting out of 23.

Ie's also the six smallest counties. Total votes are still in the hundreds (O 339, C 243,Other 15).

The bigger counties went early, but haven't reported yet.

yeah we know caucus states don't count

/as well as red states, blue states, primary states, small states, and any other state Obama has won.

Reports from Albany County are that they are voting in waves and have resorted to paper ballots as there is not enough room for the turnout. Estimates of turnout are more than a thousand. Did away with 15% viability rule. First wave looks good for Obama.

Looks like buyers remorse.

Gillette is a pretty big town!

WOOOHOOOOOOO!

I've tried to get in touch with family in Laramie County to no avail. They were meeting in the Civic Center which ahs a huge capacity, but I suspect it has turned out to not be big enough.

What's up with that, just trying to downplay the inevitable Obama victory? No one from Obama's campaign has projected that he'll get up to 64% today.

It's the popular vote that matters when Clinton wins, but apparently only the delegate split matters when she loses.

REsults:

O/C

10/10 in Niobrara
31/31 in Crook
96/108 in Goshen
123/45 in Uinta
48/27 in Sublette
31/22 in Hot Springs

The claims of Clinton wins in three Eastern Counties are false!!!!

She has one a single county and tied in two others.

Obnama trouncing her in the three other counties reporting!

Congratulations to Obama for another caucus win, shame he doesn't tend to do so well when more people get to vote.

We know Wyoming has had record turnout http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/con tent/article/2008/03/08/AR2008030800343. html?hpid=topnews

Pretty soon we'll know if Wyoming counts.

Sen. Barack Obama led with about 56 percent of state delegates in the caucuses, compared to about 44 percent for Sen. Hillary Clinton, with about 41 percent of the state reporting by Thursday morning.

Clinton won the state's primary 51 percent to Obama's 48 percent. The state party awards the delegates proportionally statewide -- Clinton earned 65 delegates to Obama's 61."

Based on your views, I would suppose that you are against the superdelegate weighting in the nomination, which exceeds the caucuses by a wide margin. You didn't mention it. Could that be because Hillary is ahead there?

Doesn't the fact that Wyoming has a Democratic Governor suggest that, in fact, a Democratic nominee could carry it in November?

out, Hillary.  We keep forgetting.

I hope ALL caucuses are done away with in 2012.  They are undemocratic, chaotic and dont fairly represents all Democrats.  A primary is the purest way to show your preference.

And Hillary is weak in Oregon, Washington, and Michigan.

Never mind, those are key battleground states that 'don't matter.'

weak that she can even win caucuses.

She only seems to win some undemocratic primaries.

turn out of high participation voters who do GOTC, GOTV, and donate.

Romney wins WY!!!

Ummm... apparently, someone didn't get the memo?  Yeah....

what's the deal on the state delegates?  do the repubs and dems divvy them out based on the same number of people voting?  i'm just wondering, because when the wyoming repubs voted in their caucus on jan 5th, that they moved up to be more relevant (how'd that work out?) they allocated a grand total of 12 state delegates between the repubs.  so far, with 30% counted, there have been 777 state delegates allocated to the dems.  if x number of people equals one delegate, and x is a constant in both parties, then this is a very good sign.

I notice vacuous Obamabots have invaded this thread.

Pocketnines on dailykos (hat tip) actually explain the following

Again, the 59-41 numbers you are seeing after 7 counties have reported are NOT the relevant numbers.  The relevant numbers are the number of delegates each county sends to the state convention.  Right now Obama has 62.8% of the delegates apportioned to the state convention - not 59%... this is an important distinction that most seem to be missing...

Obama gave a speech to a crowd of 15,000 last night. There should be at least that many.

The 35% is 35% of 23 counties.

Estimates in Sweetwater County put turnout at 1000.

Albany County estimates I've seen are over 3000. You should see at least that many in Laramie and NAtrona Counties.

As a side note, Laramie, WY is in Albany County and Cheyenne is in Laramie County.

Won't matter when Hillary sweeps PA, FL, MI, WV, KY and Puerto Rico. She is also running strong in NC and IN. Enjoy the expected victory in Dick Cheney's birthplace

54 of 319 decided

Obama 33
Clinton 21

Obama 74%
Clinton 25%

OVerall now stand at Obama 66%, Clinton 33%!!!

WOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!!!

My Alma Mater of UW comes through!!!!!

Looks like he might be able to gain that extra delegate after all.

Those are delegates, not votes.  Each represents many votes.

It says a lot about the poor state of her campaign if she doesn't have the resources to get 800 more people out to vote for her.

There aren't 220,000 voters in Wyoming.

Total.

In all parties.

Wyoming is #50 in terms of population.

that is pathetic; you can't even muster enough to admit that this is a good win for him.  You want to compare the votes from Ohio and Wyoming?

/sad

Counts so far

Obama 1,562 66%
Clinton 758 33%
Other 26 1%

Sweetwater went for Clinton.

They tied among Republicans. Are you really just making it up?

"best group" being republicans and independents. U re making his point dude.

In 1960 it was Wyoming's 15 votes at Convention that made Kennedy the nominee..(yep it was that close. People forget)

Hillary slaughtered Obama in Sweetwater County.

Agreed. Why can't she seal the deal? I think the voters are taking a step back and saying, do we really want to put this woman in the White House? Has she crossed the threshold?

Converse goes for Clinton.

My count so far in State Delegates sits as follows:

Obama 68
Clinton 37

Obama takes NAtrona County by seven votes.

There are a lot more people in Ohio than Wyoming, but why bother being intellectually honest.

REport from on the ground in LAramie County. They had to do wave voting. First wave looked great for Obama. At least one more wave, possibly two.

First wave ended just a bit ago.

A curious observation
Crook County is colored for Clinton yet they tied.
Niobrara is colored for Clinton yet they tied.
Knowing WY as I do I figure these ties were gender based with couples split

Wyoming is probably the most conservative State.
I figure there is some Clinton Backlash afoot.
at the CNN page..look at the Republican side which went earlier.

LARAMIE COUNTY STOPS VOTING FOR A LUNCH BREAK AFTER SECOND WAVE!!!!!!!!

the delegates for Wyoming are split, 8 tied to the caucus and 6 are SDs.

So many latte-sippers in Wyoming.

YEs.

They resorted to wave voting. Line to get in went around the block into p[arking lot. They took a lunch break before the third wave.

It is a primary not a caucus. We wont have any news until polls close tonight !

Go Yellowstone!

63% Obama
37% Clinton

They are not allowed to call it until all the precincts are closed.

Laramie County, and especially Cheyenne, will tell the tale.

She's the comeback kid, part XVI!

Hillary Clinton won Carbon County.

They like Obama on the reservation!

ALMOST 2 to 1!!!!!

I'm watching on CNN.  Didn't see any Lattes.  Back to you.

This is a good test for the "buyer's remorse" thesis. The entire Clinton family toured the state. Bill went to Sweetwater County (heavy coal mining area), Hillary went to Cheyenne and Casper, and Chelsea went to Laramie. All have been to Jackson many times. Unlike Idaho and some other caucus states, Hillary Clinton did not cede this one to Obama.

And yet, Obama is still poised to win the state with about 58% of the delegates.  That will give him 8 votes to Hillary's 5 in the convention (with the add-on delegate). Had Hillary never bothered to show up she might have lost 9-4 instead.

But this doesn't show any "buyer's remorse." It shows that Obama still has great strength in the mountain west and that he know how to organize. On the other hand, it shows the utter folly of Clinton simply conceding caucus states like Colorado, Idaho, Nebraska and Minnesota to Obama.

Not enough ofHeadRush's ditto heads in Wyoming to throw this one to Clinton.

With 74 % percent reporting-

Obama 58 %-- 2,725
Clinton 41 % -- 1,933

This is really, really good.  There aren't so many delegates at stake, but with a likely win in Mississippi coming up next week, Obama will be back in good shape going into the long empty stretch leading up to Pennsylvania.  This changes the atmospherics a lot, and makes it harder for the media to keep pimping for Hillary.

Whoopee !  

Clinton did go to Minnesota before the caucus.

79%
59-Obama
40-Clinton

This is the same as the final result as Maine, another one of those latte-sipping, high African American population states.

I've been observing this thread....why the nasty  tone from Obama supporters?  Do you have to put down the other candidate just because Obama is winning Wyoming?  Doesn't sound much like the campaign of unity to me.

In fact, I suspected she might win Natrona (Casper) based on heavy media coverage of her visit there (before Obama). The State Party Chair in Casper is a big Clinton supporter too. And I still suspect she might win Laramie County (Cheyenne).

Also, Sweetwater County is a major coal mining county. It's one of the strongest Democratic counties in the state and is one of the few to support Bill Clinton in the 1990s. Interestingly, Campbell County (Gilette) is also very coal-centric and they went for Obama heavily.  But Bill Clinton went to Sweetwater and Obama never visited. I figured Clinton would win there.

This was not a state that Hillary just conceded. She fought for this state and sent the whole family throughout. Obama had a town hall in Casper and a rally in Laramie. That's it. He ran some TV ads and both candidates ran radio spots. But Hillary fought hard for Wyoming.  This wasn't Idaho.

I thought Clinton would be close in Cheyenne - or even win it. She campaigned in Cheyenne and Obama did not. She had the AFSCME support with state workers.  But she got beaten soundly in Cheyenne, losing 61-38.

I'm starting to think that with Teton County (true latte-sippers) caucusing tonight that Obama could actually get to the 62.3% threshold necessary for the extra delegates. Before Cheyenne I thought that impossible.

This week, my candidate won the Texas and Ohio primaries, yours won the Wyoming caucus. Wanna trade? Didn't think so.
