Barack Obama regained his winning streak on Saturday with a convincing victory over Hillary Clinton in the Wyoming caucuses…
More than 8,000 people attended the caucuses – a striking number in an overwhelmingly Republican state where only 675 bothered to participate in the 2004 caucuses.
[emphasis added.]
Obama won Wyoming with 61% of the vote to Clinton’s 38%. There is no chance that Hillary Clinton could inspire such a turnout on her own in the general – even if she didn’t win dirty in the primary. And, at this point, dirty is the only way she’ll reach the top of the ticket.
Mississippi will go hard for Obama tomorrow, but the media is entirely focused on Pennsylvania as the tie-breaker. And, as we learned in 2000, the media meme is the one that wins.
Phonebank the PA primary, if you can…
For good order, the remaining primaries are:
March 10 – American Samoa (9 delegates)
March 11 – Mississippi (40 delegates)
April 22 – Pennsylvania (181 delegates)
May 3 – Guam (8 delegates)
May 6 – Indiana (79 delegates), North Carolina (110 delegates)
May 13 – West Virginia (37 delegates)
May 20 – Kentucky (55 delegates), Oregon (62 delegates)
June 3 – Montana (23 delegates), South Dakota (22 delegates)
June 7 – Puerto Rico (4 delegates)
Kos is doing some delegate-counting today, and, between Wyoming, late changes in a couple of primaries, and some superdelegate endorsements, Obama is actually up 8 delegates vs. Clinton since the Ohio/Texas/RI/Vermont primary day dawned.
