CHEYENNE, Wyoming (CNN) – With more than three-fourths of precincts reporting, Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois held a strong lead Saturday in the Wyoming Democratic caucus over his main rival, Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York.

Obama led Clinton 59 percent to 40 percent, with 78 percent of precincts reporting.

The caucus thrust the state — which has only 12 delegates — into the spotlight because of the close race between Obama and Clinton, in which every delegate counts. Although Wyoming typically is not a stop for Democrats looking for delegates to clinch the party's presidential nomination, its numbers could make a different this year because of the delegate deadlock.

Seven delegates will be apportioned based on caucus results, according to John Millin, head of the state Democratic Party. The remaining five will be allocated at the state convention, which will happen Memorial Day weekend in Jackson.

Imagine that, another red state win for Obama. To bad hes not a republican. Go Hillary!!!!!!!!!!

An Agnostic Democrat   March 8th, 2008 10:07 pm ET

Another win, according to the gospel of Queen Clinton, that won't count. Maybe if she feels that strongly about it, she should sacrifice her wins in all the other small states and caucuses. The woman is not only a joke but more delusional than her husband.

Ohio Democrat   March 8th, 2008 10:02 pm ET

It seems that Obama's younger followers dominate the caucuses, nothing new. Was a disaster in Texas even to the point where people were frightened.

Willy   March 8th, 2008 10:01 pm ET

curtis in WI   March 8th, 2008 10:01 pm ET

Clinton narrowed the margin of delegates by only 20 last Tuesday, not counting the TX caucuses (which they are still counting, HUH?) and Obama just made back a lot of that. This coming Tuesday in MS, her gains will be completely erased.

alfred hanson   March 8th, 2008 9:59 pm ET

i personally think obama is the man for the job.he has what it takes to run over the gop nominee.experience is a great accomplishment but that alone do not warrant any one to run a great office.esp. look at the quick temper of this man,no good.america wake up it si a new era.go obama.GOD be with you.keep your hope and faith up you will not only win the nomintion but you will be the next president of the.united states….just receive and it shall be done amen.when you win this election you are going to reign for 8yrs with a lot of achievements hence giving the democrat another 8yrs.this is done .amen

Matt in Austin   March 8th, 2008 9:51 pm ET

Where are the final results on Texas?
Should the media retract and say the Obama actually won Texas?
Yes, I think they should.

Chris G   March 8th, 2008 9:47 pm ET

Winning the Democratic primary in a prohibitively Republican state does not say much about electability. Typically, Democrats in states such as Wyoming are in such a minority and so opposed to the Republican governments that traditionally walk into power every four years, that they will support ideas that are the most diametrically opposed to the status quo. Mr. Obama has presented a bunch of fine ideas to the electorate thus far, but has failed to suggest how we will ultimately pay for them. He is providing nothing more than false hope to not only Democrats, but everybody in the country. He is not an electable candidate. Democrats should see the light before they send another George McGovern to the slaughter, and nominate Mrs. Clinton before winning the White House becomes an unwinnable dream.

karen   March 8th, 2008 9:46 pm ET

It's pretty much over now. Obama will win the nomination. I don't care what Hillary says anymore she is crying like an child who needs attention. She is wasting our precious time. We need to focus on McCain. Also I am a PA resident, she will not win PA. We are not like Ohio, we like nice people not Hillary. And by the way, Obama seems to be winning big and populated cities and states with a high % of caucasians so he is already making his change, it's called UNITY !!
So stop saying Obama's speeches are empty it is already moving people to vote and unite under his leadership, the change is already done.

Logan   March 8th, 2008 9:44 pm ET

With one of the most unpopular president's in the nation's history, it would seem that the Democrats would be heading for the White House. But I'm afraid that yet again the Democratic Party will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. They will bicker and fight over differences so small to make them non-sensical, split the party further, rather than winning a national election. Unless the two major Democratic candidates figure this out quick, Senator McCain might as well start measuring curtains and looking at carpet samples for the White House. All he has to do is look Presidential, raise money, and not make mistakes, while the democrats go through this kabuki theatre. The DNC has failed and we need a new party because the Democratic Party as a party is going the way of the corvair and Ralph Nader. The party of John F. Kennedy and Franklin D Roosevelt, which saved our family may be extinct,

EC   March 8th, 2008 9:43 pm ET

Whoa….

Where are all the Clinton supporters nows? Hummmm…..

sharon   March 8th, 2008 9:40 pm ET

I don't understand why CNN has covered tonight's win by Obama as a split decision. Obama won this caucas with a solid majority. 7 for Obama is significantly different from 4. In fact, your tracking site shows 9 for Obama and 3 for Clinton.

Please stop reporting this as a small victory.

EBC   March 8th, 2008 9:40 pm ET

What no comments from the Clinton supporters? Funny that?

Goodheart   March 8th, 2008 9:39 pm ET

Every state should hold a primary where everyone votes. Sure, Obama has won 13 caucuses, but not everyone voted. In addition, Florida and Michigan don't count. Caucuses are so confusing. It's hard to believe a nominee is being elected that way.

Also, Wyoming will definetly go Republican in the general election. It's hard to believe the Democrats are excited about a candidate who can win states like Wyoming and Mississippi which have a history of always going Republican in the general election.

Hilma Towell   March 8th, 2008 9:38 pm ET

he always wins the caucasus—just not the primaries—-go figure

Ratzo8   March 8th, 2008 9:36 pm ET

We know by now that Obama has won the Wyoming caucus, so CNN can stop "projecting." But what I'd like to know is why isn't CNN crediting Obama with winning the Texas caucus, as he has done. Obama's total delegate count from both the Texas primary and Texas caucus has exceeded that of Clinton's. From what I understand, by three delegates. If that is correct, then, in my book, Obama takes Texas. Why is CNN silent on this particular outcome?

Perry Spark   March 8th, 2008 9:36 pm ET

Nice to see that Barack has regained the 3 delegates he lost in the Texas Primary. Barack consistently shows that his message can reach more states than merely those who have a hardcore democratic base.

John Stevens   March 8th, 2008 9:31 pm ET

Democratic caucus by name only. This way of delegate selection is not democratic - it is not unfair.

About 10,000 people will 'vote' in public in the process in Wyoming for 12 delegates whereas millions of voters in Ohio will truly elect about 120 delegates. Not fair at all.

All the contests in the primary contest should be PRIMARIES IMHO.

Liz   March 8th, 2008 9:22 pm ET

I am watching the ballot bowl and the female commentator just read off the totals of the pledged delgates of Obama and Clinton, it was wrong. The numbers that she quoted were the numbers of the pledged plus the super delegates. Also it is already on your page that Obama received 9 delegates from Wyoming while Clinton received 4.

Giovanni   March 8th, 2008 9:22 pm ET

I reallly wasn't aware that this was even considered a contest worth mentioning. Shows how off i am…

dee   March 8th, 2008 9:13 pm ET

Big deal another flippin caucus in a red State, where all the people don't even vote. I think we had around 8,000 people vote out of a whole State, compared to Hillary winning Texas with over 100,000, Votes. WHAT A JOKE AND THEY CALL THIS DEMOCRACY SOUNDS LIKE A BIG CHEAT TO ME. I don't blame Hillary for not wasting her money in a red State where you have 169,000, registered Republicans and about 60,000. registered Democrats, thats a know brainer. STUPID OBAMA.

Jack   March 8th, 2008 9:09 pm ET

Obama wins 61-39!!!

Did anyone catch what Hillary Clinton said in Wyoming? She said caucases aren't "real elections." So, the people who have voted for Obama in this Country in caucases haven't really voted? What kind of arrogant spinning of her loss is that? Just like in Ohio she said that the people of Ohio are "smart" and that is why they voted for her, meaning that the majority of Americans, whom voted Obama, are idiots. Incredible!

Kego Onyido   March 8th, 2008 9:06 pm ET

There's merit to the idea of a joint ticket . For some reason, I'd prefer an OBAMA-CLINTON Ticket better than a CLINTON-OBAMA Ticket, lol

Chris -- Cleveland   March 8th, 2008 9:06 pm ET

Hahaha, he's going to deteriorate most of her entire March 4 gains WITH WYOMING. That would make a nice headline, but seeing as how everyone said TX was "a big win" for her, I doubt that would be worth mentioning.

P.S. Is the friggin TX caucus counted yet even?

Val in PA   March 8th, 2008 9:01 pm ET

Obama - 61% Clinton - 38%

I have to say when Barack wins, he wins big. Hillary barely covers the spread when she wins. What was that about her supporters not being able to understand the process of caucuses? Then get the people in your camp to educate them on the process. Grow up, if they still don't understand, they are simply refusing to learn. What a ridiculous statement. Just like the statement about all that experience, when, where, what experience??? It's like her supporters don't even care that she makes it up as she goes along. Now she's talking about all these leaders she's talked to. Of course you've had conversations, you were with your husband, The President of the United States. You would have looked like an idiot if you didn't speak to them. You are like an unwanted poltergeist, I have two words for you, " GET OUT" !

Can't wait to Barack the Vote in PA !

How about the first baby in the Hillary ad is now 17yrs. old (18yrs old in April) and is an Obama supporter. She campaigns for Obama, and has been a precinct organizer at a caucus (something Hillary's older voter don't get). How ironic is that? It's Priceless!

ChicoSez   March 8th, 2008 8:58 pm ET

I don't understand how 8000 voters in WY get 12 delegates or about 1 delegate per 700 voters while California, a major state and a must win for any democratic candidate got 370 delegates for 4.375,496 voters or about 1 delegate per 12,000 votes. So a WY vote counts about 15 times what a CA vote counts. What is wrong here?? Who made these rules? This is a democratic party. Or even worse, 1,700,000 voters in Florida have been disenfranchised because of a couple of party bosses in DC said so. What is my democratic party headed to. It may go there without me if it not careful.

I am observing favoritism on the part of the female reporters
for Hillary Clinton.

Could you please encourage them to be more objective and
simply state the news as it is, rather than try and slant it
on the side of Hillary?

This is particularly true of Candy!

Michigan will vote   March 8th, 2008 8:48 pm ET

Obama doesn't want a revote in MI or FL . becuase Michigan alone has more votes in it's thumb area , than most of his Caucaus wins on super tuesday combined . Do the math!!!!!!

HILLARY 08″

Obama 08   March 8th, 2008 8:46 pm ET

Just another delegate update to "keep you honest"

Real Clear Politics: Obama 1588 Clinton: 1465
Fox News: Obama: 1578 Clinton: 1468

And maybe you could mention that obama has received at least 43 suoerdelegates since Super Tuesday while Clinton gained i and LOST 6: gap in the superdelegates keeps narrowing!!

Way to go Obama!!

Josh Watson   March 8th, 2008 8:44 pm ET

If you want an accurate delegate count stay off of CNN! They are scewing the numbers to make Hillary seem closer than she is. Most major reporting agencies has Obama up 110 delegates or so after the Super Delegates get factored in, but CNN has him up less than 100 and their totals are 75 delegates short of the actual totals! MSNBC and Yahoo both list more for each candidate and alot more accurate. MSNBC shows it without the Super Delegate count and he has 1366 to her 1227 to CNN'S 1328 AND 1190. Surely they didnt just make up those 75 delegates. With the new Super Delegate total that Yahoo has factored in he leads 1578 to 1468 TO CNN's 1527 and 1428, its takes into account the 12 or so Super Delgates she has had decommit and endorse Obama. CNN touts the best political team out there, maybe they should hire a elementary math teacher to help them count! Report the news guys stop trying to fudge numbers to boost ratings!! Hillary said it best "Shame on you". Update your numbers to reflect the actual amount, I know the interactive computers screen that everyone there loves can count correctly, let it do the work since you guys cant.

Brandy, NJ   March 8th, 2008 8:39 pm ET

Well it is a caucus. It really isn't a surprise he is winning. The elderly, single parents, and many blue collar workers are not able to spend hours debating in the caucus process.

Jean, Indiana   March 8th, 2008 8:36 pm ET

What's interesting about Wyoming is that they were able to caucus without having had polls telling them what they would do.

John Z.   March 8th, 2008 8:36 pm ET

Obama has won Wyoming. Big deal! He's doing a great job of winning all the states that usually vote Republican in presidential elections or that have a small number of electoral votes. After the superdelegates reflect on that fact and determine that he cannot beat McCain, they will vote for Hillary and she will become the nominee.

Musa Njai   March 8th, 2008 8:34 pm ET

I still belief that Senator Clinton will go on being nasty as far as the primary elections are concered. I used to be a supporter of the Clintons for a long time but then , something started happening. If you you dont support Barack Obama, dont listened to his rallies. If you go to his rallies, he carries along. This is an opportunity not only for the United States of America but the whole world. Now i will tell you why i belief that Senator Clinton won`t stop to be nasty: I had a dream this last thursday night and it involves a youth 13 years old. Senator Clinton Send this 13 years chap with a bottle of wine in his arms to go and let him be photographed with Senator Barack Obama.The Senator of Illinois refused and contacted the Police. I did explain this dream to my wife and she could not just stop laughing. It shows the type of judgement Senator Barack Obama hast. It is a way to show how Senator Clinton is still trying to implicate Senator in any form.

kenya Reich   March 8th, 2008 8:31 pm ET

james, lou ky   March 8th, 2008 8:26 pm ET

You would think that after what Bush jr has done to this country, that people would try to put someone in office that knows what their doing. But I guess they havent learned from past mistakes, God help the old USA because I believe the best years are gone and its down hill from now on. and no im not for any repub especialy Mccain or bush wannabe.

James   March 8th, 2008 8:25 pm ET

Go Obama, win a couple more and Hillary will be begging for the VP role

Convention Walk-Out   March 8th, 2008 8:25 pm ET

It's time for Hillary Clinton to give her concession speech and it's also time for her to congratulate Barack Obama for winning the nomination instead of demonstrating a desire to have the will of the majority of states and Democrats overturned by a few hundred superdelegates. What Clinton doesn't understand is that Democrats around the entire country are fed up with California, Florida, Ohio, New York controlling the Democratic Party and not having a voice.

Her winning even though the majority of Democrats in the country voted for Obama while a handful of states like California voted for Clinton would create a fracture in the party that could not be repaired for decades. In fact, I'm annoyed enough to walk out of the National Convention with other delegates and let the delegates from California, New York and Ohio have their party but let's all hope it won't come to that.

VOTER FOR TRUTH AND DIGNITY IN AMERICA   March 8th, 2008 8:24 pm ET

I am happy for Obama and our country, but for the lies
of the Clinton's Obama would have won by much more.
Just make a list of the lies the Clinton's have made in the
last week the hours before the voting in Ohio, Texas, R.I.
and Vermont. The Clinton's, through their dirty rotton lying
ways of playing the game have Rendall of Penn. rooting
for Clinton and it has been said that he is looking for Hillary
to make him Sec. of Energy. The Gov. of Iowa today saying
that if Obama wins, the Al Quada "will be dancing in the streets."
And many other lies in that article that you can read above.
The Nafta-Canada. blown out of proportion lie, the get out
of Iraq blown out of proportion fat trick. Wh, the Clinton;s
have so many tricks up their sleeves, they should join the
circus. Now, today, in Mississippi, while Hillary is resting,
the character of Obama is being minimized by Bill saying
that Hillary would love "her dream ticket. Guess who is
Pres, and you got it Obama V.P. Now would not that get
Hillary immediate votes, folks. Then they would turn around
again and trick us, once Hillary won, she may not choose
him and come up with some other dirty lie of hers to defend
herself. They are Professional liars.

I used to say that if Obama does not win, I would be forced
to vote for Hillary. Not anymore, I would let the scoundrals
McCain and Hillary win and they can go at each others throats.
Now, that is friends for you!!!!!!!!!!!

DNC and Howard Dean and Nancy hear this:
Yes, this has been the great race with the multitudes of people
out voting. Well let me tell you the number will reach less than
half if our Nation has to go back to listening to Hillary and McCain
voice on T.V. I can't stand Hillary's voice. The DNC. will have to
hide in their seats if the Witch wins, because I will lose interest
Who wants to listen or vote for a liar. Obama would never be
Vice President to a trickster like Her.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CNN, Fox, you will have less that half of your dedicated public.
I would find a new hobby and I was one of your best listeners.

ToddT   March 8th, 2008 8:18 pm ET

Sorry, Wyoming about stating Montana in my last comment. Speaking of getting the facts straight; my grandfather is from Montana so I made a mistake, thinking of t\his state of Montana in my last comment. Basically, my comment shows we are all human and I understand that the media can make mistakes, too. Despite my criticisms of CNN, I respect and appreciate CNN’s “The Best Political Team on Television” efforts to provide timely and accurate reports in this highly volatile campaign for the Democratic nomination. Keep up the good work and thank you for allowing citizens to voice their opinion through the The Political Ticker blogs - the best in the industry.

Bob   March 8th, 2008 8:18 pm ET

This is all fine and dandy, but what's going on with the texas caucus CNN? with over 60 delegates at stake there THAT's what I'm interested in

Marilyn Bryan, Taylor, AR   March 8th, 2008 8:15 pm ET

Our system of primaries is really, really weird. Some caucus, where only some of the citizenry vote. Some hold elections where cross-
over votes can make the difference. Then there are the superdelegates who may, or may not, vote as the vote went in their
respective states. The two parties make their own rules and hold
primaries at different dates.
If ever a system needed correction, ours does. Make the campaigns federally-funded with limitations and no outside advertising allowed. Limit the time a candidate can campaign. Make all elections, of whatever party, to be held on the same date, as in the general election ,and make them as tamper-proof as possible.
The only ones who would be unhappy would be the media, which
thrives on controversy and gossip.
What is going on now is disgusting and can only get worse.
The best promise of what a candidate will do in the future is
what he or she has done in the past.

Sharon   March 8th, 2008 8:13 pm ET

CNN, why are you talking only about Clinton when Obama has won the Wyoming caucus by 19%? Why didn't you say, "Clinton won the Texas primary, but Obama walked away nearly the same amount of delegates." I haven't seen one statement about Obama's victory tonight without the reporter saying that "Clinton got a significant amount of delegates." No mention of ending Clinton's momentum? How about Obama's prospects to win Mississippi? I'm not sure I'll even watch CNN on Tuesday night. MSNBC seems more balanced to me these days.

April   March 8th, 2008 8:12 pm ET

Obama's desire to discount Florida and Michigan voters for his own benefit is like the Bible story about the two women who both claimed that the baby was theirs. One woman wanted to cut the baby in half–and the real mother loved the child too much to ever consider that. Guess which women Obama represents. He is showing what he would be like as a president–and it looks like he would be in favor of whatever he wanted not what was best for the country or his party.

Howard Dean can't campaign for Obama and objectively run the Democratic National Committee at the same time. I feel he is dishonest and should be removed from office.

Micahel Guinn, Ventura, CA   March 8th, 2008 8:12 pm ET

Obama wins another - attains more delegates - and Hillary & Bill are playing "Let's make a Deal"! NOT!!

Carla   March 8th, 2008 8:10 pm ET

Another win for Obama but I sure Clinton will come up with an excuse about why this one does not count either.

Chris   March 8th, 2008 8:08 pm ET

Go Obama …All the way. If he just remains like this he will win. Clinton has no chance at all. She knows she is losing and can't catch up. Obama should remain cool and let desperate Clinton scream.

Spin: The way Ohio goes is the way the rest of the country goes…..isn't that what Hillary said? So what happened Hil?

Hillary claimed Texas, but Hillary did not win Texas, we soon shall see.

Hillary blasted the Obama camp for the Nafta remarks, and the media helped her make a big deal of it. As it turns out the Hillary camp was at fault. I did not hear an apology.

If she can't show some integrity now, then when will she?

Puerto Rico has changed their election process from a Caucus to a Primary in early June.

Hmmm……changing from a process which favors Obama to a process which favors Clinton. In a small island with close ties to New York where she is a Senator.

Barbara   March 8th, 2008 8:05 pm ET

Obama always does well in Caucuses.From what I understand they are small groups where they are bombarded with speechs by each candidate or people supporting a candidate. Could be that they vote for Obama just to get out of having to hear the same stuff over and over again?

Obama is projected to win more delegates in Texas!!!

Another state in which Obama won more pledged delegates!

The count is now up to 30 states for Obama.

Obviously, he is the most electable and political-super-delegates should start lining up with Obama so we can end this negative process which will fracture the democratic party more.

Way to go Bill Mr Phoney Clinton. make sure everyone understands it is for the good of the party that it be HILLARY Obama ticket, but you never say what about a OBAMA Hillary ticket.

Anyway Mr. Obama made a statement today that he will not be Hillary's VP. He said it in Montana. If it such a good ticket for the party why didn't Clinton say Hillary would even CONSIDER the VP spot with Obama?????

ToddT   March 8th, 2008 7:47 pm ET

Looks like Obama will net a 2 delegate lead over Clinton. 7 to 5 of the 12 pledged delegates available in Montana. Congratulations Senator Obama on another open caucus win; howerver Obama has been behind in the overall popular vote, since March 4th. Furthermore, Obama is significantly behind Clinton in the Democratic base vote - over one million Democrats have voted in favor of Senator Clinton. Hopefully, the media gets these facts correct soon.

Chisom   March 8th, 2008 7:45 pm ET

THANK YOU, Thank you Obama!, Thank you
Thank you Iowa…Vermont….Wyoming,

We await your win definite win in deep south missisippi, and your plausible win in Philly.
You(OBAMA) got my vote AGAIN!!!

Jeffrey Eckman   March 8th, 2008 7:40 pm ET

The democrats always take Wyoming. There is an important win. Has Obama actually won a blue state other that Illinois and Maryland. He has not won any primary of import. Does that mean anything to anyone?

Independent   March 8th, 2008 7:38 pm ET

I think caucuses are absolutely stupid way to elect a candidate as only activists participate with hard core. Good thing caucuses are not allowed on presidential elections. Obama can only win caucuses because his followers are young and naive. If Obama wins the nominations for the dems, I'm voting Mcain

Dave   March 8th, 2008 7:37 pm ET

Take a look at the registered voters of Wyoming. Almost 70% are registered Republicans. There is no way Obama will win the Wyoming in the general election. What major city has Obama won that a democratic candidate must win other than the city with a large population of blacks. These republican cities are voting against Hillary due to hatred toward democrat powerhouse Clintons rather than for Obama. It is time to settle the issue and turnover the candidate leadership to Hillary. If we go into convention and the superdelegates vote for Hillary, this country will see a riot. As for me, I am sick and tired of blacks rioting and I don't want to see another one. We have our own problems to solve.

Truth Seeker   March 8th, 2008 7:32 pm ET

Go Obama……this is just another example of your appeal to all voters.Unlike HRC.

Kent D   March 8th, 2008 7:30 pm ET

Proving that Hillary wins in the rural, white states. Oh, that's right, this is the story that the press isn't covering -how Obama is winning in the Upper Midwest and West. Is it because of the huge black vote? Come on, report the truth that not all middle income and poor whites support Hillary. Maybe there is a story in how race is an issue in those states with a history of it and how Hillary uses that issue. Take on the Monster, CNN.

HD for Obama   March 8th, 2008 7:27 pm ET

Thank you Wyoming democrats for supporting Obama! Even though the Clintons will say your votes are not important because you are in a "red" state, I definately appreciate you helping him improve his delegate lead.

By the way, Obama is projected to WIN Texas overall by 6 delegates after the caucus has been tabulated per CNN today.

So who won Texas Hillary?

Obama/Edwards in 2008!

THIS IS TURNING OUT TO BE A VERY INTERESTING NOMINE ELECTION, THOUGH IT WOULD BE MUCH SIMPLER IF THE STATES WERE WINNER TAKE ALL, AND ALL THE CONTEST WERE PRIMARIES INSTEAD OF HAVING CAUCUSES THAT ARNT EASY TO UNDERSTAND AND LOOK LIKE THEY CAN LEAD TO VOTER INTIMIDATION. FURTHER MORE I THINK THE FLORIDA CONTEST SHOULD STAND AS WAS VOTED. IT WAS AS FAIR AS ANY COULD BE. THE MICHIGAN ONE WASNT FAIR TO OBAMA BECAUSE HIS NAME WASNT ON THE BALLOT. SO RE-DO THAT ONE. IT WONT COST NEAR AS MUCH AND WILL MAKE THINGS MUCH CLEARER. BUT SEAT THE FLORIDA DELEGATES AS THEY WERE VOTED. IN FLRIDA THERE IS NO NEED FOR A RE-DO BECAUSE BOTH NAMES WERE ON THE BALLETS AND NO ONE CAMPAINGED. IT WAS ON THE LEVEL. SO LETS GET ON WITH IT!!!

Edward   March 8th, 2008 7:19 pm ET

Clinton needs Obama more than Obama needs Clinton, so it should be Obama/Clinton if anything.

About the Florida and Michigan primaries, the democrats need to learn you can not change the rules after the game has started. This is the same thing that happened in Florida in 2000 that allowed the US supreme court to uphold the election results certified by Katherine Harris. It was the perception that either by the Florida supreme court or by recounts, outside the already established rules, there was such an attempt made to change the results.

Cyrus Mayo   March 8th, 2008 7:17 pm ET

It seems to me that the so called war in Irac is really not a war which America needs to win. It is after all not a war but two religious factions fighting each other for dominance and control of the country's resources. No matter how long the US stays in Irac the end result will be the same, Iracies killing and bomming each other. Let the US pull back to netural territory in the area where their presence will prevent Iran from interfearing in Iracy affairs. Perhaps with the US out, even the Iracies might come to terms on their own or get tired of killing each other.

Paul   March 8th, 2008 7:15 pm ET

Causes are a pointless drama. The way to go should be primary. Look at the number of people who voted in the Wyoming causes.. that's hardly significant! Poor Obama!

Jerry   March 8th, 2008 7:14 pm ET

Bill Clington has his nerve, a Clinton/Obama ticket when he is leading,
go away Clingtons and just give your little rich talks and let the younger generation take charge. ENOUGH OF BUSH CLintons!!!

Deborah Nelles   March 8th, 2008 7:11 pm ET

i was watching your coverage of the Wyoming caucus and feel that Jessica Yellin had a cleare bias for Hillary Clinton. When speaking with a friend about this, she concurred. I watch CNN for fair and balanced repoerting and do not feel you are doing an adequate job when one of your reporters is so obvious in her preference.

Paul   March 8th, 2008 7:10 pm ET

Why does Obama win all of the caucuses? Maybe it's because noone has figured out a way to cheat the system in caucuses yet while many votes in the primaries do not have a paper trail so they are very easy to manipulate. It's funny how Clinton and many of her supporters do not like the caucuses, because they actually have to play by the rules.

Em   March 8th, 2008 7:08 pm ET

The Clintons just keep insulting our intelligence. The candidate who leads in the delegate and popular vote count, and whom they've been vilifying for being unprepared for the presidency, would make a great VP? If they believed half of what they've been spouting, wouldn't they be protecting us from him? Another cynical ploy to siphon votes. It's an obscenity.

Fred   March 8th, 2008 7:07 pm ET

People in Wyoming have some sense. They know how dishonest Hillary is. Just like the Canada lie she put out. And to find out that she was the one that contacted them and told them dont take what she is saying on the campain as what she ment. And then saying Obama did it the day of Ohio, Texas, RI, Not what I am looking for as Presedent. She also backed NAFTA when her husband ramed it on us. That part of her expernince. I do not beleave anything that comes out of her mouth.

Rick Terven   March 8th, 2008 7:06 pm ET

Lisa   March 8th, 2008 7:05 pm ET

It's so heartwarming to think of people all over the country joining together under the banner of change.

with so many brilliant and hard-working people in washington, it's high time we all started working together instead of spinning our wheels, fighting against one another. Even when we disagree - I, for one, would find it much more tolerable to accede to the majority decision if i felt i at least had a voice in the decision.

GObama!

Jan, Toledo, OH   March 8th, 2008 7:04 pm ET

roxana   March 8th, 2008 7:04 pm ET

I congratulate Senator Obama for his victory today. However, as i hear your panel of experts and their commentaries, I am still waiting to speak for the Clinton campaign, and frankly as a Floridian it's sad to see how disenfranchising democrats for a decision made by a Republican Governor and a Republican legislation is just unacceptable.
We need to stop this bickering. Let the people express their opinion in Florida and Michigan and let the winner take the delegates won.

Rick Dorce   March 8th, 2008 7:03 pm ET

The republicans want to face a weak candidate in November that is why they try to bring so much staff about Obama. Rep. Steve King comment about Obama is weak and has no roots and it is meaninless. I suggest that if he has nothing profound to say that he be quiet and watch on the sideline. Republicans want an other eight years in the white house to destroy our economy more than they already did. That is why the republicans want a weak oponent to face them in November.

Jenny   March 8th, 2008 7:03 pm ET

Can people think it twice and tell me why Obama won most of the cascus, giving the fact that he lost to Clinton on Texas primary (51/47), still won cascus in Texas by a large margin? Dose cascus really give a fair result?

ru1965   March 8th, 2008 6:54 pm ET

Sorry I said Wisconsin instead of Wyoming

ru1965   March 8th, 2008 6:52 pm ET

Obama is winning by 19 % in Wisconsin and CNN says they are both having a good night - are you kidding after Clintons big 3% win in
Texas?

What about the caucauses in Texas. No news, not even the news that Clinton may file a lawsuit. Cliinton had a big win in New Hampshire and wound up with one less delegate. In Texas she had a big win and will likey wind up with less delegates.

When Obama was winning all the states Clinton said it wasn't about states won it was about delegates. Now that Obama is winning delegates its about winning certain states - most of these will be carried by Democrates whether it is Obama or Clinton.

orlando   March 8th, 2008 6:51 pm ET

Can he win the general election in Wyoming? I don't think so. I don't support Obama and I don't support caucus either. Caucus election is anti democracy. The party is called the Democratic party. But what the party does is not so democratic.

If Hillary is not in, we (Florida) will vote for McCain.

Frank   March 8th, 2008 6:50 pm ET

Pamela   March 8th, 2008 6:50 pm ET

I hope this is the beginning of another winning streak for Senator Obama. The clearly bigoted devisive politics from Senator Clinton has totally turned me off to her.
I want a candidate who sees the citizens of the United States of America and not the Muslims in America, not the Blacks, and not using code words to White Americans who are fearful of the change,
I am sick of that type of policitcs. I want Obama; he sees the United States of America for all - he is inclusive not decisive.

Rick Dorce   March 8th, 2008 6:48 pm ET

The Hillary compaign does not know what they want to do or say to win. Her compaign once vote to take Florida and Michigan off the bollot now because they are so desperate to win they want to go against their own vote. When it come to NAFTA Hillary Clinton is bluffing the people because her husband Bill Clinton was the president when NAFTA went into effect there is no way she is changing anything about NAFTA because it will make her Husband look like a very bad president. As far that I am concern Hillary is talk to talk just to get the nomination. Her and her compaign will say anything to win. The jobs lost that we have today to China and India is all from the Clinton's presidency.

gary   March 8th, 2008 6:44 pm ET

I think caucases are stupid. Thats the only thing Obama can win.Where people can make up someones mind to vote , thats not fair. Many voters cant make them because they have to work. Primarys are real voters .They are secret votes the way they should be.Obama can win all he wants ,its going to come down to the super deligates.Their not going to go with someone thats unqualified to be a leader.Obama needs 8 more years training under HRC before he has enough to even be considered him leader material.He is to much of a follower.He has shown at debates agreeing to HRC on issues.He has to copy adds ,almost identical to HRC ,except for his repeating Iraq message. He is getting to sound like a broken record. You have to be qualified,experienced and have the know how to make the right judgement call. Give me a break , Go Hillary

A WIN-WIN FORMULA FOR OBAMA AND CLINTON

Here is a win-win formula for Obama and Clinton. This formula will make history: we will have the first woman president and the first African-American as president as well. In 2008 a Clinton-Obama ticket. That is a sure winner. That guarantees the first woman president and the first African-American Vice president. And in 2016, Obama for president. All the Hillary fans are going return the favor to Obama in 2016. Two birds with one shot. That will make history. 2016 will be too late for Hillary. For Obama, who is young, that will be the right time. He will have the experience he needed by then.

Susan   March 8th, 2008 6:39 pm ET

I am watching CNN and listening to Jessica Yellin reporting that while Senator Obama won, Senator Clinton also picked up a significant number of delegates in the Wyoming caucus. She picked up 3 delegates Jessica! The news here is that Obama increased his lead by 3 to 4 pledged delegates and broke Hillary's 3 state winning streak. What is up with CNN reporters slanting their news reports in favor of Senator Clinton's campaign? Has Hillary scared you all that much? Jessica isn't as bad about promoting Clinton as Wolf Blitzer, but she has definitely slanted her reporting of late. I just can't figure out how such acclaimed reporters as these could let Hillary intimidate them.

Oh yeah, Hillary will say WYO doesn't count, because it's a RED state!

But isn't TX also a RED state? And OH went to GW Bush in 2004? So what's the big deal that HRC won there ?

Don't be fooled by Bill and Hillary Clinton as if a joint ticket is as good as Obama win Nomination.

A Obama-clinton ticket will be unstoppable, but a clinton-Obama ticket will not go anywhere!
Every smart person should realize with Hillary on top, the REAL VP is really Bill Clinton, whoever the VP candidate will be comitting a political career suicide under Hillary !

Just look at what happened to Al Gore (I just learned the real VP to Bill Clinton was Hillary Clinton) !

Lets keep it going. Lets not go negative like Hillary, win or lose. This is definately want of the most historic campaigns. Yes we can.

Anne C.   March 8th, 2008 6:28 pm ET

Just curious–why are the Wyoming results being shown before all the polls there are closed? Do they handle caucus reporting differently than primary reporting. I thought you couldn't show results until all the polls closed so as not to sway any voters. Can someone explain the difference?

Charlene Harris   March 8th, 2008 6:28 pm ET

One more for Barack Obama. Good job Wyoming, you know who the best person for the job. Now Mississippi it's your turn. State by state is choosing Barack Obama. Charlene

Thank God, he has won Wyoming! Yes indeed! The voters there, obviously weren't succured in with lies and deceit from the Hillary campaign, but Ohio, Rhode Island and Texas, unfortunately bought into her mischief.

The Obama Express will not be derailed! Senator Barack Obama, will indeed get the Democratic nomination, because he deserves it! He's largely ran a very clean, decent and respectable campaign, and therefore has earned the right to properly represent our country. Go Obama! Yes we can!!

Ronald, American living abroad   March 8th, 2008 6:26 pm ET

Come on CNN "which has ONLY 12 delegates" (emphasis added)? Why are you continuing to repeat the Clinton line that only big states matter in this race? Obama is running a 50 state strategy in keeping with the strategy of the DNC. All Democrats should be proud of this and I think we will see the results in November when, with Obama as the presidential nominee, Congress will once again be returned to veto-proof Democrat hands (which was lost under Bill Clinton's presidency) and will be able to turn the US around!

Congratulations to both candidates for a well-run race in WY!

Karl   March 8th, 2008 6:23 pm ET

I think caucuses are about the stupidest thing during a presidential nomination season. In the case of Wyoming with half a million people how can you have 7,000 vote in a caucus and figure that is democratic? Just doesn't make sense to me. I really wish the democratic party would go to winner take all primaries in all states. In the genral election, there are no splitting of votes, delegates, etc. If you win, you win, plain and simple.

Hillary08!

Obama winning is Wyoming means little. Clinton will no doubt get the nomination irregardless of his delegate lead. The Super Delegates will make the decision in the end and they are the Old Guard and will go with Clinton who they can control.

The caucuses were more a test of physical endurance than a selection of a Democratic candidate. With all Obama’s talk about building a world free of unnecessary barriers for Americans with disabilities it’s strange that he defends the caucus process. Doesn’t he see that the disabled and elderly can not wait in these long lines and stand around for hours to cast their vote?

Captain   March 8th, 2008 6:15 pm ET

Obama wins yet another state. He just won back the delegate advantage he had going into Tuesday night. After he cleans up in Mississippi, he will have enough of his MOmentum back to carry him into Pennsylvania. Sorry Hills, no Latinos in Pennsylvannia to save you there. The racist in that state does worry me though.

Obama for President   March 8th, 2008 6:14 pm ET

Go Obama!!! The movement is alive!!!!

Poeple don't vote for a fearmonger!!!!! Don't vote for someone who claims to have so much more experience than Obama– she doesn't other than a few speeches and support she gave her husband that doesn't translate to her haveing direct experience or that she will do a better job than Obama…..

Nationally the polls show that MOST of us know that Obama would be the won to beat McCain not Hillary!

Pennsylvanians don't be fooled VOTE Obama!!!!!!

PeterO   March 8th, 2008 6:14 pm ET

Ummm… think you got the ordering of names wrong there Billyboy. Obama's lead in delegates makes it impossible for Clinton to catch up. In addition, if she wants a shot at the VP spot then she should stop slamming him in the news.

Isaac   March 8th, 2008 6:13 pm ET

I've got to say I'm disappointed in the caucus system. As a Clinton supporter I'm surprised there hasn't been more questioning about it. When Clinton wins the popular vote in Texas but loses the caucuses by a large margin, there is a problem. It is an unfair situation that has added many delegates into Obama's column. Another example: look at Washington state. Clinton lost the caucuses by a landslide and the popular primary vote by only a couple percentage points. How is this fair or democratic?

I hope that, come August, when Obama is still arguing the 'math' point with his likely lead in delegates, that the superdelegates take this discrepancy into serious consideration.

Cathy   March 8th, 2008 6:13 pm ET

I don't believe a Caucaus is fair to the voting public as there is just a few voters allowed in to voteing area. New people has reported that some were turned away because of the amount of registered voters that showed up. This is the same old saying that WHY TRY TO VOTE IT WON'T BE COUNTED. All voting should be done as PRIMARY so everyone that turns out can have his vote counted.

Mike, Arkansas   March 8th, 2008 6:12 pm ET

Sounds like Bill is hitching his wagon to any wagon headed to the White House. Why not have Hillary do the right thing - fork over those tax returns.
Barack H. Obama your name means great and powerful one in African translations. You are of a proud heritage;princely;kingship. Is that why we hear rumbles of you having alter plans. I love the way you have empowered us as you journey to the WHIR house and USA Presidency. You have my trust.

It is amazing that you guys said clinton won texas( so much for the best political team) news flash she lost by delegate count she will lose WY am MS so why will PA make a difference, she may catch up by a couple of delegates. My question is why no one has reported that clinton slamed obama for NAFTA-gate and her team told canada to take her words with a grain of salt.

Sylvia Baker   March 8th, 2008 6:05 pm ET

Now it's over 90% precincts reporting. No declared winner, CNN? And your reporters have to explain themselves for paying any attention to Wyoming. It's discounting to your fellow Americans to apologize for having to pay attention to them. Get real. Mountain state's families have sons and daughters fighting in Iraq and Afganistan. Some have relatives who died on 9/11. Voters in high population cities and states are not the only Americans that count. You continue to give Clinton wins in Nevada and Texas. Look at the numbers. That's what we're going by.

Kate   March 8th, 2008 6:04 pm ET

You write "its numbers could make a different this year." Seriously, CNN. You've got to get some proofreaders.

Gretchen Godfrey   March 8th, 2008 6:03 pm ET

What is unfortunate about this caucus, and others, is the small percen of registered voters involved. Of course, it is more than ever before; however, it is prox 10% of those registered. In Washington state, the number was l.7% of those registered Democrats. This is pathetic. It points to the flaw of the caucus. Nevada still hasn't been able to finish its count because of rabble-rousing and disruptions in the Las Vegas process. Texas voters vote twice; first for Hillary and then in smaller numbers in caucuses, for O. Why? Has no one ever asked that question? There are intimidating forces involded here.
A private vote is the best vote. Caucuses should be outlawed. The poor numbers in turnout do not speak for the entire voting public.

Monroe   March 8th, 2008 6:03 pm ET

Why hasn't Wyoming been called for Obama? 91% reporting and he's 17 points up, isn't it clear now?

I'm proud of the independent spirit of Wyoming; we so desperately need change in Washington. At least with Obama there is a chance of this happening. Hillary is the old school politics; knife 'um when you can, anything to win. I'm tired of Bush and Clinton. Go Obama.

Tony   March 8th, 2008 6:01 pm ET

So this is all cnn has to say or report? Hillary was saying that Texas was a big stop and cnn made a big production of Hillary's "win" there although she lost her advantage in Texas in this not so "typical" stop for Democrats. So how come cnn gets aligned with the majority of the "Democratic" party officials and superdelegates in supporting Hillary, or cnn just like "reporting" or any dirty story which happen to be comming only from Hillary.

Its pretty sad when you have to go to a conservative web site to get the CORRECT INFORMATION because CNN isdesperately trying to keep Hillary alive by the media resperators!!!! Your not fooling anyone CNN. Anyone with half a brain can figure out that the only way Hillary can take this nonimation is by stealing it. So she IS doomed to lose eventually either way. The only thing she may accomplish now is she may take Obama down with her. And your helping her do this. THANKS ALOT CNN FOR HELPING THIS COUNTRY SINK FURTHER JUST SO YOU CAN GET YOUR RATINGS THROUGH THE SUMMER!!!!!!!!

Go Obama   March 8th, 2008 5:58 pm ET

Obama is fast on his way of making a clean sweep with the remaining states, beginning with Wyoming.
Mistake # 1 for Hillary: never neglect states. Never aim your campaign to get the big state votes like Guliana tried to do, by heading to Mississippi early. This resonates with the voters of other states.
Mistake # 2: She is clearly trying to use Bill too much even still, after he has been recognized as being detrimental to her campaign. She doesn't learn, and chooses to neglect what the people say. This personality trait of Hillary is eerily similar to George W. Bush's denial of listening to the American people (despite the wiretaps). Do you want to be responsible for perpetuating a dynasty/imperical tyranny?
I know I don't.
Let's endeavor to change the world by electing Barack.

If Obama get nominated and become the president of USA, it means that the fate of million of US citizen has been decided by few thousand of little KIDS. Simply because Obama won many caucuses not primaries. All of caucuses are only games for the kids. Most adults don't want to go to caucuses because they are BS games !!!

This is a true victory for the American people. Congratulations Wyoming! We will stop the Bush machine. And if Hillary wants the VP position, I have no objections because they would be unstoppable with her experience and his charisma as President.

Who cares? It's another just another Caucus, and all the security in a Caucus are on the same side as Obama… Black!!!

Will Clinton please do what the party needs and accept the VP spot. The numbers and reality shows she cant catch up with Obama.

Plus even if she did, she cant beat McCain

Obama does not have the experience. We have just been through this with Bush why would we want to do this again. Obama great speeches with no substance.

TO ALL DEMOCRATIC UNDECIDED VOTERS:

Obama-backing former Sen. Gary Hary writes: "It will come as a surprise to many people that there are rules in politics. Most of those rules are unwritten and are based on common understandings, acceptable practices, and the best interest of the political party a candidate seeks to lead. One of those rules is this: Do not provide ammunition to the opposition party that can be used to destroy your party's nominee. This is a hyper-truth where the presidential contest is concerned.

"By saying that only she and John McCain are qualified to lead the country, particularly in times of crisis, Hillary Clinton has broken that rule, severely damaged the Democratic candidate who may well be the party's nominee, and, perhaps most ominously, revealed the unlimited lengths to which she will go to achieve power. She has essentially said that the Democratic party deserves to lose unless it nominates her."

Jonathan Chait notes that "Pennsylvania is a swing state that Democrats will almost certainly need to win in November, and Clinton will spend seven weeks and millions of dollars there making the case that Obama is unfit to set foot in the White House. You couldn't create a more damaging scenario if you tried.

I still don't understand how such a miniscule amount of people get to vote for the entire state. Most people can not take hours to stand around to vote. Obamas' crowd are young with nothing else to do but stand around for hours. Older people, and working people are disenfranchised by caucus voting.

Hillary's MOJO did not last long.

GO OBAMA

Candidates, start your spin-meisters!

A Obama-clinton ticket will be unstoppable, but a clinton-Obama ticket will not go anywhere!
Every smart person should realize with Hillary on top, the REAL VP is really Bill Clinton, whoever the VP candidate will be comitting a political career suicide under Hillary !

Just look at what happened to Al Gore (I just learned the real VP to Bill Clinton was Hillary Clinton) !

Why hasn't CNN declared Obama the winner in Wyoming?
