Once upon a time, prior to Super Tuesday I, Hillary clinton wasn’t gong to worry about Wyoming. There aren’t enough delegates there to even worry about. Besides, Wyoming is a caucus state, a red state, and there are bigger fish to fry. That was then, this is now when there’s only two states between here and Pennsylvania: Mississippi which she will lose and then Wyoming.
According to Politico, “Hillary has five staffers on the ground in Wyoming, where caucuses take place Saturday and where 18 delegates are at stake. Bill Clinton will make three stops there, and local supporters are trying to arrange a visit from the candidate herself Friday. The Democratic dilemma moves on to Wymoing!
“I think we can win,” said Kathy Karpan, a former Democratic candidate for Wyoming governor who is one of Clinton’s leading supporters in the state, citing “the connection that the Clintons have with people in our state,” a network of support built during their White House years, when they vacationed at Jackson Hole. So, will Hillary be able to bring down the Obama caucus mystique? She won the popular vote in Texas last Tuesday but lost in total delegates due to Obama’s caucus expertise.
Prior to Super Tuesday II, no one was thinking, or caring, about Wyoming. Interesting. Mentally, most people pencilled Wyoming in as an Obama state, but of course there’s been no polling there nor was there in the other Wyoming-esque states that Obama won earlier in the cycle. Nobody really knows what such innovations as staff and candidate visits might be able to do for Clinton’s fortunes. But you can bet that Wyoming is a bttle ground now. Maybe Obama needs to pray more! Obama desperately needs to stop the three state bleeding and a Wyoming-Missippi win over the next four days would go a long way to do exactly that!
