Obama captured the Wyoming caucuses, winning an amazing 61 percent of the votes to Clinton's 38 percent. Obama now has won 13 caucuses to Clinton's three, showing a particularly distinct strength in the Mountain West. And a humorous side note: It turns out that Clinton's infamous "3 a.m. girl" is a staunch Obama supporter!!

This article includes a photograph, news video and a music video.

    Here is the video - NBC reports fresh from the win. Exciting stuff - personally I'm a dyed in the wool leftie but I honestly don't know how I could choose between Hillary and Obama. Who's got you fired up?

  • Hillary did win delegates in TX and Ohio, but not enough to overcome Obama. Some think she won those states because conservative talk show hosts like Rush Limbaugh encouraged republicans to vote for Clinton to prolong the democratic nomination process. With this overwhelming victory in WY one has to wonder if that is exactly what happened. WY is a very conservative state, as conservative as TX.

  • And...Texas was really a split. Clinton won the primary (by 4 percentage points) but Obama is winning the caucus vote by over 10 percentage points at this point (the vote count is very slow). So when it's all said and done...Obama will likely get more delegates from Texas than Clinton.

    That's not being widely reported.

  • Samantha Power on the BBC said that Obama will not make any decision about troop withdrawal from Iraq until he assumes the Presidency. It's possible he'll keep troop levels high until such time as we have completed the mission. He's got my vote!

  • Here's the exact quote that BudDickman is talking about.

    (Obama) "will of course not rely upon some plan that he's crafted as a presidential candidate or as a U.S. senator. He will rely upon a plan, an operational plan that he pulls together, in consultation with people who are on the ground, to whom he doesn't have daily access now as a result of not being the president."

    This is completely reasonable. A retired general responsible for coauthoring the "surge" plan for Iraq, who has previously advised Hillary Clinton, recently made similar comments about Clinton's stance.

    Would anyone expect less? This is yet another non-issue that the Clinton camp is trying to spin into something damaging to Obama.

    This crap only works if we let it.

  • It will be a slight challenge for Senator Obama to reshape his message concerning Iraq on the run. But essentially it's not much different from McCains and that will help him pull independents and liberal Republicans away from the McCain camp since the Obama domestic message is much stronger. This is all good.

  • I think Obama will pull independents YES, however what I see is a much larger democratic registration and VOTE because even people who have never voted before may see the need for real change.

    This might also mean those under 35 may turn out in much larger numbers if they believe change is possible.

    We shall see.

  • "the last american president."

  • Okay, Hillary tell us again how you are considering Obama for VP. Obama got at least three more delegates than Clinton in Texas. Meaning that in spite of her victory speech he won Texas.
