Obama gets about 60% in Wyoming

Barack Obama won with a substantial margin the Wyoming's caucuses, where Hillary Clinton campaigned vigorously (her radio commercial about health care, here). Democratic officials reported a turnout about 11 times higher than the one in the 2004 primary. Wyoming is the less populated State in the U.S. but the most Republican: George W. Bush won 69% of the popular vote both in 2000 and in 2004. The last time a Democratic candidate got a majority here was with Lyndon Johnson in 1964. The next primary is now scheduled on March 11, in Mississippi.
