Barrack Obama Wins In Wyoming

Senator Barack Obama won the Wyoming caucuses, beating Mrs. Clinton by 23 points. He gained seven more delegates to push him closer to obtaining the nomination of the Democratic Party. His victory came after Hillary Clinton’s wins in Ohio and Texas on Tuesday.

As the state of Wyoming has large uninhabited areas and only a few small cities, it offers only 12 delegates. But the number is big enough for Obama, who tries to widen his lead of 100 delegates over Senator Clinton.

It seems the early campaign organized by Obama in Wyoming was helpful. Obama’s campaign in the state started two weeks before Clinton’s, opening five offices to two for Senator Clinton. Also, Mr.Obama had several television and radio commercials, while Mrs. Clinton only had two radio advertisements running.

“This is a big win for us,” David Plouffe, Mr. Obama’s campaign manager, said, according to The New York Times. “You saw very furious campaigning by the Clinton campaign here.”

Citing the experience she gained as a senator from New York, Mrs. Clinton has lately based his campaign on pointing to Mr. Obama’s lack of experience. She also brings into discussion the eight years she worked with her husband, former president Bill Clinton, in the White House, and claims to have visited around 80 nations.
"Often when lives are on the line and a decision must be made, experience counts for everything”, she said, as the VOA News reports. "In this election we need a nominee who can pass the commander-in-chief test, someone ready on day one to defend our country and keep our families safe."

But Mr.Obama insisted that Clinton lacked good judgement when she approved of the war in Iraq. He also questioned Mrs.Clinton’s claim to have gained much experience in foreign policy during her visits to the 80 nations she had visited.

"One of the things I hope people start asking is what exactly is this foreign experience that she is claiming. I know she talks about visiting 80 countries. It is not clear, was she negotiating a treaty or agreements or was she handling crises during this period of time? My sense is the answer is no," the Illinois senator said.
