Clinton just won Cheyenne, which is interesting. Today might not be quite as bad as we feared (although I do expect Sanders to win the state, big).

[BlueCaliDem]

1. You mean, she just won Laramie, right? I don't know if she's won Cheyenne.

But I could be totally wrong and she's won them both?

EDIT: You're right! She had won Cheyenne!

[Treant]

3. Yep.

So far, it's about 55% Sanders, 45% Clinton.

I think Qualifiedgate seriously deflated Sanders. Or Vaticangate. Or maybe Donationgate. Whatever.

[Cha]

5. Trifectagate

[Treant]

6. Pick-A-Gate

might be the operative word here.

Regardless, with 45% in, and with MSNBC saying turnout was light, I'm thinking that Sanders' support was pretty soft and stayed home. That's the only way to account for what's happening.

Albany County is still out, and that should break Sanders pretty strongly--but it's not going to be an 80-20 blowout.

13. Righto.. we can't limit it to 3.. I was thinking of subwaygate when I typed. lol

Cheyenne and Laramie is mind-blowing! I'm so proud of Hillary in Wyoming!

Thank you for this good news, Treant.

26. Love it!

I have actually been living my real life for most of the day so was VERY pleasantly surprised to read about the delegate split and the no blowout-for-Bernie that I feared when I returned to DU tonight.

Bernie's "unqualified" remark about Hillary likely sat poorly with many WY women, who have the longest history of having political equality in the US. https://theautry.org/explore/exhibits/suffrage/suffrage_wy.html

As many have previously stated, Bernie really needs to pay more attention to how his remarks may be perceived by various groups. Tone-deafness does not behoove anyone who wishes to be President of these United States and this seems to be a consistent failing of his.

15. I don't think that's it. I think Hillary's operation is just kicking it up.

If the numbers hold, this is not what the Sanders camping was hoping for. Perhaps the Independents and GOP voters are beginning to concentrate on their own leanings vis a vis the GOP race.

25. It's a closed caucus, so they can't affect the results

[Rose Siding]

2. A lot of ties? 1 to 1 with 100% reporting

1 state delegate apiece?

[Treant]

4. County delegates.

A lot of those counties have very little in the way of population, so only have 2 county delegates.

[72DejaVu]

7. Look like an 8-6 delegate split for Bernie

Pretty underwhelming.

If the Vatican story had one more day to spread, Hillary would have won.

[Rose Siding]

8. He needs 56.4 to get better than an even split

Yes, fascinating. To do better than split delegates 50-50 Sanders has to get above 56.4 percent. Under that still.

[Kber]

10. Interesting

Thanks for the info

[Treant]

11. So far, so good.

Albany County is still out, which should break heavily Sanders. Natrona County I can't call, but I'll guess a near-split.

Sanders will, however, end up underperforming in Wyoming--unless somebody tells the Clinton delegates they don't have to show up at the next level, of course...

[Cha]

14. Hillary delegates need to make it a point to show up no matter what.

[Squinch]

9. Sanders might net a couple of delegates from WY. Out of nearly 300 he needs to make up. No worries.

But it would be nice if she does better than that.

[Her Sister]

12. The whole State has about half a million population

The state is the ninth largest by area, but the least populous and the second least densely populated of the 50 United States. The western two-thirds of the state is covered mostly with the mountain ranges and rangelands in the foothills of the eastern Rocky Mountains, while the eastern third of the state is high elevation prairie known as the High Plains. Cheyenne is the capital and the most populous city in Wyoming, with a population

The United States Census Bureau estimates that the population of Wyoming was 586,107 on July 1, 2015, a 3.99% increase since the 2010 United States Census.[1] The center of population of Wyoming is located in Natrona County.[

16. Looks like she's won Casper

The second-largest town in the state.

[Treant]

18. Yep!

And with surprising ties spread all around the state.

It's a win for Bernie, but it's also not a good day for Bernie.

[Rose Siding]

19. The county he did best in has the Univ of WY, but...

consider: 699 Bernie votes out of 11,300 U of WY students. Not exactly revolution odds. Didn't he have a rally there for thousands?

I ripped that raw vote total from Giordano's tweets. I don't know his source.

17. I think Wyoming just demonstrated that the non-existent momentum

really is non-existent.

[Rose Siding]

20. omg it tightened! Now he's at 56.1 with almost 90% reporting

[Treant]

22. Yeah, I'm thinking

this may be a "moral victory" for the Sanders campaign...but moral victories don't help when you're losing and just tied for delegates in friggin' Wyoming.

[Rose Siding]

23. He got 7 delegates to her 6, and his target was 11 while she needed 3

His interview and bad press hurt him. Faux momentum stalled.

[Lucinda]

21. Poor showing for Bernie today. He may technically win the state, but it looks like Hillary

will have more delegates in total - she has 4 supers here.

Great work Wyoming Hillary people!
