What a surprise in Wyoming for Hillary Clinton! Senator Sanders has won, but she has exceeded her FiveThirtyEight pledged delegate target! Right now the New York Times is showing a 7 - 7 delegate split. No net gain for Sanders.

FiveThirtyEight has updated its delegate tracker to reflect the 7 - 7 split. Clintons lead is +212 and now with Wyomings 14 delegates off the board, there are 1,647 pledged delegates remaining to allocate and just 20 contest left.

Lets look at the percentage of remaining delegates Sanders needed to win after Wisconsin and now after Wyoming. He is actually falling behind. The percentage of remaining delegates Sanders needs has actually increased after Wyomings even split.
If youre a Clinton fan, Wyomings results are a pledged delegate win!
The race after Wisconsin
Sanders needed 56.42% (937) of the remaining 1,661 delegates
The race after Wyoming
Sanders now needs 56.47% (930) of the remaining 1,647 delegates
Up next is New Yorks closed primary and its very favorable demographics for the Clinton campaign. Folks will make the argument that Sanders has the momentum, but this race isn't about momentum. If this were the case, Clintons Super Tuesday 2 five state sweep would have helped her in the last several contests and it didn't.

(2,897 posts)and fires Jeff Weaver or Tad Devine. It won't change anything, but I'd love to see them end this campaign without a job before Sanders returns to the senate.
Also 10 Days until NY. Sending all my good vibes to Hillary for the Apr. 14th debate!
