    FTA:

    Obama led Clinton 56 percent to 42 percent with 8 of 23 counties reporting.

    Although Obama has outperformed Clinton in caucuses â;; winning 12 to her three â;; he spent the hours leading up to the voting dealing with the fallout from an aide's harsh words about Clinton and suggestions that he wouldn't move as quickly to withdraw U.S. forces from Iraq if elected.

    Go Obama!

      Unlike Ohio, Wyoming has some integrity in its voting system. Caucuses seem to be a way around the potential corruption and lack of dependability of voting machines.

          They are anxious to start wooing Pennsylvania though. I think they hate having to spend the time on the states with the lessor delegates/

            I'm actually surprised the election wasn't closer. After all, Rush Limbaugh did ask Republicans in Texas and Ohio to vote for Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primaries of those states ...because he wants to sit back and watch the Democrats "bloody each other up." (Oh, how patriotic Rush is!)

            You'd think the Republicans of Wyoming would've fallen right in line. Perhaps the only reason they didn't is because they had already cast their vote for Mitt Romney in the Republican primary back on January 5th (Wyoming is one of a handful of states that have separate dates for their Republican and Democratic primaries).

            Who knows? Maybe they just don't want the Clintons vacationing in Jackson Hole again...

              Hillary has officially lost when Bill starts recommending to crowds that Barack choose her as a vice presidential candidate.

              Considering the vicious way that she has run her campaign, being the only thing standing between her and that Oval Office?? I'd hire a food taster.

                I'm gonna make a prediction here...we'll see John Edwards endorse Barack Obama for President the week before the Pennsylvania primaries on April 22nd. It will send shock waves through the campaign and give Obama the edge. The next primary date after Pennsylvania will be May 6th: Indiana and North Carolina. After that, Obama will be unstoppable!

                  This election will mark a turning point in American Politics.

                  First: there is an African American of unusually high level of intelligence,charisma and gift of oratory unseen and unmatched in recent history.

                  Second: He has set a new standard of clean campaign unmatched by any in recent times. He has collected and surrounded himself with a coterie of experts equal to the best in either party.

                  This combination has created such an excitement that the previously disinterested young population has been energized and motivated to participate in the election in numbers never before seen!

                  This is truly a rare phenomenon!

                  We should be proud that this is happening in our lifetime, and taking our country to a new moral high ground!

                    Good News! Barack Obama won the Wyoming caucuses by a 59% to 40% - a 19 point lead and picked up 9 delegates to Hillary's 7 delegates, giving him an advantage of 2 additional delegates!

                      The fix is starting to show, though. Texas got called for Clinton too early (sound familiar?). Now that it has become apparent that Obama actually carried the state caucuses, Texas has COMPLETELY DROPPED OFF THE MAP, according to the MSM...

                      Just in case nobody else noticed...

                        Obama handily BEAT Clinton in Wyoming.

                        The Press will gush, "Obama regains momentum. Hillayr's brief mojo nomo. Blah blah blah.

                        With so much of importance on the line, one of the saddest thing is the press dealing only in trivialities and useless generalizations.

                          If Shrillery is the nominee I will be hard pressed to choose the lesser of two evils.
