What’s clear at this point is Obama will not get any sort of landslide.

Apparently the electorate isn’t THAT angry.

18 electoral votes to McCain.

Moving on…

And apparently over 9,000 people came out, which could be seen as pretty high since there are only about 59,000 Democrats registered in the state.

Overall, Obama took 7 delegates and Clinton took 5. AP projects that Obama now has a total of 1,578 to Clinton’s 1,468.

How can she make up the gap?

This just in…

Obama had 59 percent, or 4,459 votes, to Clinton’s 40 percent, or 3,081 votes, with 22 of 23 Wyoming counties reporting.

Obama won seven delegates and Clinton won five. In the overall race for the nomination, Obama led 1,578-1,468, according to the latest tally by The Associated Press. It will take 2,025 delegates to win the Democratic nomination.

This is what the Obama campaign now says about the delegate math…

On a conference call with reporters, Obama campaign manager David Plouffe argued that tonight’s results put Hillary in a deeper hole.

He noted that given tonight’s results, Hillary has to win 63% of the remaining pledged delegates, which “would mean getting 68% or 70% of the vote everywhere.”

People, she simply can’t make that margin up. Of course somebody could find out something crazy about Obama, but that’s not likely at this point with Hillary’s team digging through his past.

Now, I do wonder what would happen if Florida and Michigan were thrown back into the mix with re-dos, but with the DNC saying the won’t pony up any cash, and the Obama camp unlikely to cough up $20M for new contests in both states, it’s essentially over.

And yet we’ll still keep going on and Hillary will continue to paint Obama as somebody who isn’t fit to be President.

And so it goes…

And as usual this year, the turnout is huge:

CASPER, Wyo. (AP) — Democrats deluged caucuses in Wyoming’s caucuses Saturday as Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham vied for the next prize in their extraordinarily tight Democratic presidential race.

In Casper, hundreds were lined up at the site of the Natrona County caucus. The location was a hotel meeting room with a capacity of 500. Some 7,700 registered Democrats live in the county.

“We’ll have to put ‘em in the grass after a while,” said Bob Warburton, a local party official.

The room was nearly full, with an overflow area set up near the hotel pool. Meanwhile, Obama and Clinton supporters greeted participants with campaign signs and bottled water.

In Cheyenne, a line of hundreds stretched around the block at the Cheyenne Civic Center as voters waited for the caucus to start.

More as it develops…

UPDATE:
Here’s more…

CASPER, Wyo. (AP) – Barack Obama led rival Hillary Rodham Clinton in voting returns Saturday as Democrats crowded caucuses in Wyoming, the latest contest in the candidates’ close, hard-fought race for the party’s presidential nomination.

Obama led 59 percent, or 4,000 votes, to Clinton’s 40 percent, or 2,756 votes, with 18 of 23 counties reporting.

Obama generally has outperformed Clinton in caucuses, which reward organization and voter passion more than do primaries. The Illinois senator has won 12 caucuses to Clinton’s three.

But Clinton threw some effort into Wyoming, perhaps hoping for an upset that would yield few delegates but considerable buzz and momentum. The New York senator campaigned Friday in Cheyenne and Casper. Former President Clinton and their daughter, Chelsea, also campaigned this week in the sprawling and lightly populated state.

So I guess that’s 78% reporting? Looks like he has this locked up. No word yet what the delegate split will be.

But wait, I thought she was the comeback kid? I thought she shocked the world on Tuesday? Shouldn’t she be rolling to victory after victory now? Why does Obama have a better shot at winning?

From AP:

CHEYENNE, Wyo. – A day before Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama were to compete for a small scattering of delegates in Wyoming, Clinton cast herself as the underdog and said the odds are not in her favor. Clinton’s campaign has sought to set low expectations for the Saturday caucuses in Wyoming as well as next week’s primary in Mississippi, states where her campaign believes Obama has a better shot at winning.

“I said, ‘Well you know what, I’m going to go to Wyoming anyway — I know it’s an uphill climb, I’m aware of that,” Clinton told an audience of more than 1,500 at a community college in Cheyenne. “But, you see, I am a fighter, and I believe it’s worth fighting for your votes.”

Oh wait, I know. Because Hillary and her team didn’t plan for anything after Super Tuesday so they had no organization in Wyoming. Because they assumed she was the heir apparent. Because they were arrogant.

I’ve asked it before, but I’ll ask it again: is this the team we want in the White House? Especially after 8 years of awful planning?

Exactly…

While it’s been under the radar, the state has gotten some attention from the candidates. Sansonetti says that only three candidates have not visited the state at all: John McCain, Mike Huckabee, and Rudy Giuliani. In addition to the candidate visiting twice, Romney’s wife Ann and his sons have visited. Direct mail and phone efforts have been persistent in the past week. Sansonetti said he had voice mail in the past day from representatives of Duncan Hunter, Ron Paul, Fred Thompson and Romney.

GOP officials in the state expect that the candidates who have put in the most effort in the state to walk away with delegates. Discussions with local county chairs suggest the following results, or something along these lines, would not be surprising: eight delegates for Romney, two delegates for Thompson, one delegate for Ron Paul, and one delegate for Duncan Hunter.

Hey, Duncan Hunter gets one! How about that!
