1. Nice to see Hillary win Laramie!

Wow!

[Samantha]

2. Thanks for the information -- it is very much appreciated

I think the link said about 30 percent of the vote is in. Hopefully, he will win by a larger margin (although what he has now is certainly not shabby; I am just hoping there might be more to reduce the difference in Hillary's current lead).

3. Nice, thanks so much

I'm hearing its the same old crap where mountains of absentee ballots for Hillary magically appear.

[senz]

4. Just read that CNN reports Bernie winning most of the counties.

And I am amazed that anyone would brag about Hill getting one more delegate than Bernie in Laramie county.

[Agschmid]

5. God forbid we celebrate a small win.

Clinton supporters should be silent and know our place.

[pdsimdars]

7. No one said that. . . .

and so far she's actually won more than one.

[Contrary1]

9. Nope...a win is just that; a win.

Be it small or large.

[senz]

11. LOL! Hillary as underdog!! Excellent!

Honestly, this deserves an award for irony.

Masterful, Agschmid.

[beaglelover]

6. She won 2 other counties as well. Not quite the St Bernard 'sweep' that was expected.

[Agschmid]

10. I'm pretty suprised overall, thought this would be a clean sweep for Bernie.

And a pretty big % win.

[senz]

12. What do you mean by "St Bernard?"

[SheenaR]

13. Its been a common theme lately

They say we deify Bernie and worship him, hence St Bernard (also Bernie the Christ was used a few times)

It's just another of their gimmicks

[senz]

16. Amazingly blatant insult. Imagine if we called their candidate insulting names.

I think I saw someone use the term "Shillary" once, but it got alerted upon.

[brooklynite]

31. ...and then got repeated endlessly

[Trajan]

26. Haha ... Here is some math for ya ...

DU - 1 = Better DU

[HereSince1628]

14. I am amazed that in several counties only 2 people voted...

I know Wyoming is a small population rural state...and it's mostly republican...but 2 people in an entire county?

[Agschmid]

15. Yup.

[senz]

17. Have you ever driven through Wyoming?

In some parts, you can go miles and miles w/o seeing any sort of building. Same thing with parts of Nevada. The wild west...

[HereSince1628]

19. Yes I know, but still 2 people, Wy pop density avg is 6 people per square mile.

It's not like 'My county has 2 people in it when the mail is being delivered'.

[senz]

20. Well, I've seen towns with total pop. less than 10

but don't remember if it was WY. Plus, it could be that only 2 people gave enough of a damn (or had time) to drive to the polling place today.

Maybe those two people can form a little county Democratic club and get out the vote for the GE.

[HereSince1628]

22. In the late 90's I drove through IA towns that were down under 10.

[senz]

24. Just guessing here, but was the intervening space filled with crops?

In a way -- in a way -- that space is still populated. Out west, it's just how nature has it, whatever grows, whatever happens to live there. Of course, unpopulated areas out west tend to be dry and barren. (Well, we seem to have wandered far from the primaries...)

Anyway, I hope nothing's electorally wrong with Wyoming.

[HereSince1628]

25. no, mostly empty buildings at crossroads of state and county roads

A friend of mine was doing book on Iowa ghost towns, so it wasn't like finding them the at random while out for a drive. Mostly it was looking at old plat records and current maps. Surprisingly some of the places were in what I thought was more populated parts of the state.

Certainly farm consolidation hurt things. At one point in my life, I got advice from relatives to walk to trees if I ever got lost in NW IA because next to trees you could pretty much always find a farmhouse, people, and a telephone...by the late 90's that was really sort of hit or miss...

[senz]

29. Interesting. Wonder if anyone's written a book on landscape changes

resulting from Reaganomics? Some are obvious -- disappearing Main Street, appearance of Walmart-style shopping centers, drying up of mom and pop roadside restaurants and other little outlying businesses. I'd known of course what agribusiness did to family farms but hadn't thought of what farm consolidation/monopoly could do to an agricultural landscape. Could some ghost towns be caused by that, too? All the changes seem to have been ugly, uniform, and sterile. Necessary for profits that float to the top, such a good cause.

It must have been interesting accompanying your friend on a search for Iowa ghost towns from old plat records. I've only been through Iowa once, in the middle of the night during a snow storm; our primary concern was trying not to end up like one of vehicles that were stranded on the side of the road. My ex and I did have a close friend from Iowa whose dad was an editor at the Des Moines Register, with whom he still stays in touch.

We now have news that Bernie won WY but the results were very close. Now, of course, I'm wondering why Hill folk were so excited about Wyoming so early on? All the irregularities we've seen can make a person nervous.

32. There was a beautiful photo essay done on the Ruins of Detroit.

by French photographers Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre published in Time, that may have made it into a stand alone book.

[senz]

34. Yes, it has.

And if you do a browser search on "Ruins of Detroit," there's more information.

23. I lived in Wyoming and tried to caucus there before

The time and venue changed right before it took place, and we couldn't make it in time to the right location, because it was already over.

Results like that don't surprise me.

[Change has come]

27. That is the number of delegates. Not total votes

I'm from Fremont County. There were about 450 votes. They split the delegates 10/10. I assume these are state delegates as opposed to national.

[HereSince1628]

28. Looking at Weston County as an example on the Guardian result tracker... 2 total votes

I am not going to argue but that's what it says with 100 percent of the vote in

[Codeine]

35. I lived in a Wyoming town with 22 people.

It had three businesses; a little store (with post office; general delivery), a bar, and a tractor parts/feed store open part of the year). Not too many people in large swathes of the state, and not all of those who are there care over-much for politics.

[pdsimdars]

8. That is a great link . . . they laid it out well.

[PowerToThePeople]

18. Looking good!

[senz]

21. What a clever avatar!

Nice. And accurate. Be careful though, some are feeling even meaner lately.

[MrMickeysMom]

33. May I steal this?

[PowerToThePeople]

36. Yes, steal away.

[Nanjeanne]

30. Does Wyoming have a "Convention" where delegates have to show up like other

Caucus states?

Because Clinton won from 600 surrogate (or absentee) ballots that were delivered that were 100% for Clinton. The # of people at the actual caucus was 689 Sanders and 111 Clinton.

If they have those Conventions like other states - it will be interesting to see if all those absentee votes are recognized (amazing odds that 100% of them were Clinton) and if Clinton people actually show up. Somehow I'm betting that this county will flip by the end of the actual results. We'll see.
