In his first victory since Democratic Rival Hillary Clinton’s big wins in Ohio, Texas, and Rhode Island, Barack Obama won the Wyoming Democratic Caucus. Although the state has only 18 delegates, the victory is substantial for Obama in terms of media appearance. The Clinton campaign, long marked for its talent at spin, has been lauding their recent victories as a “change in momentum,” for the campaign. Despite Obama’s more forceful presence in the state (opening up 5 offices to the Clinton campaign’s 2), the Clinton campaign put much energy in trying to prevent a victory, sending both the Spouse (Bill) and the Spawn (Chelsea) into the state on Thursday. However, Obama’s early presence seems to have paid off, with a 23 percent lead over Clinton, and a seven delegate gain. However, this win is just a stop on the way to the more significant competition in Pennsylvania in April.
