Albany and Cheyenne should go for Obama. I was in Albany. Almost everyone there was for Obama, even the football coach at the university.

Albany reported 74-25 for Obama.

That seems to be about right.

Cody and Pinedale went for Obamah. I ski in Pinedale and Al Simpson and his family live in Cody.

Michael Barone's analysis on Fox News was that almost all of Obama's lead is due to Albany County and the University turnout.  Hillary did well in Sweetwater but not lots of enthusiasm and turnout

In the end, turnout in counties doesn't matter as they are electing delegates to the state convention, which are fixed. However, they're just plain wrong on that analysis, so it's irrelevant.

The new counties are Park and Lincoln. Lincoln is all farmers; Park probably has some Yellowstone-related people (but most are in Teton) and the rest, at least two-thirds of the voters, farmers.

Yeak that's right.  You will get similiar voting in Fremont and more Obamania in Teton.

Fremont I'm not sure about because of the Reservations. Turnout will be dismal among Natives, of course, but they're still 20% of a 65%-GOP county, so at least 20% of the Democratic electorate even with poor turnout.

The rest of Fremont is much more farms than mines; I looked it up. That explains why Sweetwater has a Democratic history while Fremont does not: the farmers have all been Republicans, but the miners are recent converts.

The farmers I used to go to school with were uneducated and pretty wealthy. Though, I don't understand why miners would be democrats. Then again, Wyoming could get close to 40 if Obama wins and the new green collar workers (solar and wind miners) turnout. I surprised that Rawlins didn't go more for Hilldawg.

[Person Man]

don't worry the last few big counties should be for Obama.

[Person Man]

Fremont makes sense. Also, Riverton's dems (if they were any) went to HillDawg.

[Person Man]

The only towns that haven't reported are Sheridan (will vote with Gillette), Jackson (latte libs) and Grey Bull (probably an even town)

[Person Man]

yeah, all the counties have reported for now- I foresee 60-39.

[Person Man]

So, if there is a tie in the state that has the deciding EVs, McCain would beat Obama, but not HillDawg.

[Person Man]

They haven't called it...have they?

[Person Man]

I got a delegate sticker.

Does JJ stand for Jimmy John?

Gee, a hurricane is going to form on this thread...or at least a good cycle to wash your clothes.
