Wyoming caucus gives one more win to Sanders, -- but he and Clinton tie in delegates

Saturday, the Democratic Party held its primary caucuses in Wyoming.  Bernie Sanders chalked up another win 55.7% to 44.3%.   This gives him his seventh straight win and keeps the momentum going.

But . . . let's not get too excited over this actual win.   The total number who came out to participate was only 280.     And they didn't even actually announce vote totals;  but rather it led to choosing delegates, and Sanders and Clinton  each got 7.    But she already had 4 superdelegates who say they're supporting her, giving her 11 in all.

Momentum does count, and in 10 days is the big primary in New York.   Clinton is currently well ahead in the polls and should win big, given that she was New York's senator and resides there.    So the perception of who wins will come down to how big her win is -- or, possibly, if Sanders pulls off an upset, that would be hu-u-u-ge.
