Just got back inside from shoveling snow in a sleet storm, and I couldn't ask for anything more warming than the first headline I'd see: Obama with another decisive win. Looks like a 59-40 spread, if the first 96% of the vote is any indication. [UPDATE: 61-38 is the final score.]
The Monster Campaign tried hard to win this one, it sez here, but I'm sure they'll be out bright and early tomorrow, spinning it as "just another caucus in just another unimportant state." They might want to watch it, though. Let's not forget whose home state it is.
Yes We Can.

Wyoming is the least populous of all the states. Other than the overseas Democrats, American Samoa, and the Northern Marianas this is as small potatoes as it gets.
Although to be fair I am just hoping that a Hillary win in PA causes a clusterfuck situation where the Democrats can't get the ticket straightened out until the convention, which is going to be the latest ever held by a non-incumbent party (due to the Beijing Olympics being seen as stealing too much media attention earlier in the summer.)
Adam:
As far as small potatoes goes, I agree with you somewhat. On the other hand, it's a few more delegates to the good, it's another tick mark in the states-won column, and it turned the news cycle away from the Monster story.
I'm not sure why you want the Dems to be in a clusterfuck. Do you really want McSame to be the next president? Have you, at long last, not had enough?
I want McCain over Hillary or Obama. The lesser of two evils from my perspective.
McCain will be working with a very antagonistic Congress and will be very unlikely to get anything "done," which I'm sure will do much more for the economy than any of the "stimulus" or "relief" packages that a Dem-Dem legislative/executive double-team would rack up.
The country is teetering on the edge of financial ruin. While "hope" and "change" might be exciting tag-lines, I'm afraid partisan gridlock is going to be the only way to rein in the spendthrift government that is killing this economy. There's never a free lunch, and the time for an expensive one is almost certainly not right now.
I posted my case for supporting McCain if you're interested.
Adam:
Sorry to be remiss in addressing your rebuttal and looking at your case over at your place. I'm a little burnt out from debating politics right now. I'm sure that'll change in the next day or two, so look forward to it.
