1. SHE'S CLOSING ON HIM!

HILLARY'S GOT THE BIG MO!

[adoraz]

6. ROFL!!

[usregimechange]

25. Doesn't appear so

[SoxFan]

2. Yet CNN.com won't mention this on the Politics page

Shills

[GodlessBiker]

19. I was just there to see the latest, and I couldn't find the results. What assholes they are.

[SoxFan]

23. Josh Marshall calls CNN on their crap

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/182362.php

CNN's politics page has a big feature story headlined "Fellow Legislator Saw Little 'Bold' About Obama" with a introspective, solemn pic of Obama. Then you read the story. And the colleague is a guy named Dan Cronin, a Republican.

Shouldn't they have spoken to one of the Republicans who now has positive things to say about Obama? Oh, wait ...

Late Update: Turns out Cronin is actually a member of McCain's Illinois leadership team. (Good catch by TPM Reader TK) At this point, this amounts to CNN being spoofed. Correction or some explanation is in order, guys.

35. I saw that too.

I also felt like, "Oh. Ok, another Republican taking a swing. Go figure."

[Zynx]

3. Casper and Cheyene have yet to come in and those will probably be pretty big for Obama.

[featherman]

29. According to my Wyoming expert ex-cowgirl spouse

The three remaining largest population counties: Fremont(Riverton, Lander) , Laramie (Cheyenne), and Teton (Jackson) should all be for Obama

The only surprise I've seen so far is that Natrona (Casper) was so close.

[featherman]

34. YAY!!! Fremont County (my spouse's former home) goes Obama

[npincus]

4. Gotta love Wyoming!

[spotbird]

5. It's a small state

it doesn't matter. ;)

[Lucinda]

[speedoo]

8. Anyone have a Wyoming delegate impact?

Assuming a comfortable Obama win?

I assume we are talking a very small number.

[jalynn]

10. Obama

Always wins the red states, nothing new here. The repugs love him, till we get to the GE

[tammywammy]

15. Yes all those republicans that are registered democrats

:eyes:

[Muttocracy]

12. looks like 12 total for WY

http://politics.nytimes.com/election-guide/2008/results/delegates/index.html

[jefferson_dem]

13. From what i've seen it will be a 8-5 delegate split, for a net gain of 3 for Obama.

Unless Obama can pull around 65% of the vote, which doesn't seem likely at this point...

[Lucinda]

14. They'll each get part of 12 delegates.

[jefferson_dem]

18. Actually, there will be 13 delegates allocated based on the WY results.

See this --->

...

In a sense, Wyoming gets 13, because Wyoming gets 1 "add-on" delegate. People think of the add-ons as superdelegates, but the reality is in caucus states the add-ons are picked by a vote of the state convention, so whoever wins the caucus wins the add-on. Moreover, the add-ons are vetted by the candidates every bit as heavily as pledged delegates to ensure commitment at the convention. Whoever wins the most delegates in caucus states gets the add-on.

[Lucinda]

22. Thanks for the info.

:hi: CNN Election Center shows the 12.

[jefferson_dem]

28. These elections can be quite the education.

It's like a prideful whirlwind tour of America.

:hi: Gotta love it!

[speedoo]

24. Thanks everyone.

Well almost everyone, LOL.

[VotesForWomen]

36. well, it will be 0 electoral votes in november, i can tell you that. nt

[featherman]

9. CNN county map on elections page colors all tied counties for Clinton

What's up with that? Apparently several counties (Crook, Niobrara, etc) divided equally but CNN gives them to Clinton on the map.

[Colobo]

11. CNN would call it for Clinton even if she didn't get a single vote.

[rndmprsn]

16. ClintonNewsNetwork

explains a lot =]

[Muttocracy]

20. NYTimes map is better

http://politics.nytimes.com/election-guide/2008/results/states/WY.html

[Seabiscuit]

31. It shows that Wyoming is right-wing Mitt Romney country. He won it in a landslide

with McCain gettin 0%.

No wonder the Ronny-Rayguns butt-kisser, Barack Obama is doing well there.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

21. there only seems to be low votes in the counties like 30

[featherman]

26. Like the caucuses in NV, those don't represent "voters" per se

[Rosa Luxemburg]

30. yes I forgot it is a caucus

[K Gardner]

27. CNN is actually doing an ENTIRE segment on why Hillary doesn't do well in caucuses..

and supporting exactly what she said at her rally last night: "Caucuses are not elections. My supporters don't know what it is and so they don't come. My people can't get off from work." Unfreakin believable. Clinton hands out the Talking Points, the media obeys.

[CountAllVotes]

17. fantastic!!!!!!

:kick:

[Hardrada]
