Aware that she might not do extremely well against Obama in a state with a rapidly growing population of young and middle-aged urban transplants, Hillary Clinton has reevaluated her expectations for Wyoming’s primary, scheduled for later today.
“I said, ‘Well you know what, I’m going to go to Wyoming anyway — I know it’s an uphill climb, I’m aware of that,” Clinton told an audience of more than 1,500 at a community college in Cheyenne. “But, you see, I am a fighter, and I believe it’s worth fighting for your votes.”
Clinton has recently gained traction against Obama in Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island, where she significantly made up for her previously stunning losses in delegates. The race between Clinton and Obama is still tightly contested, and in the end may be decided almost solely by “super-delegates”, high-profile members who are not expressly pledged the way that normal delegates are. A win by Clinton is considered favorable for Republicans, who may be better able to summon their ranks against her, versus opposing Obama, who seems to be able to pull from the center more effectively.

Calling Obama a centrist would be very inaccurate. He is the most left leaning liberal in the Senate. It would only be a matter of time before he is painted as a radical since he has sided with far leftist views. I think we need to put that into perspective before calling him more of a centrist. He is truly a far left liberal.

I never referred to Obama as a “centrist”.
My point here was that Obama can pull votes “from the center more effectively” - which he has been able to do, and has a cornerstone of his success in the Democratic primaries. Conventional wisdom is that because of his ability to win votes from the center, Obama would be more effective in a general election than Hillary, who is more likely to motivate Republicans against her.

YOU MIGHT BE AN IDIOT:-)
If you think Barack Obama with little or no experience would be better than Hillary Clinton with 35 years experience.
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with no experience can fix an economy on the verge of collapse better than Hillary Clinton. Whose
husband (Bill Clinton) led the greatest economic expansion, and prosperity in American history.
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with no experience fighting for universal health care can get it for you better than Hillary Clinton. Who anticipated this current health care crisis back in 1993, and fought a pitched battle against overwhelming odds to get universal health care for all the American people.
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with no experience can manage, and get us out of two wars better than Hillary Clinton. Whose
husband (Bill Clinton) went to war only when he was convinced that he absolutely had to. Then completed the mission in record time against a nuclear power. AND DID NOT LOSE THE LIFE OF A SINGLE AMERICAN SOLDIER. NOT ONE!
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with no experience saving the environment is better than Hillary Clinton. Whose
husband (Bill Clinton) left office with the greatest amount of environmental cleanup, and protections in American history.
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with little or no education experience is better than Hillary Clinton. Whose
husband (Bill Clinton) made higher education affordable for every American. And created higher job demand and starting salary’s than they had ever been before or since.
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with no experience will be better than Hillary Clinton who spent 8 years at the right hand of President Bill Clinton. Who is already on record as one of the greatest Presidents in American history.
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that you can change the way Washington works with pretty speeches from Obama, rather than with the experience, and political expertise of two master politicians ON YOUR SIDE like Hillary and Bill Clinton..
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think all those Republicans voting for Obama in the Democratic primaries, and caucuses are doing so because they think he is a stronger Democratic candidate than Hillary Clinton.
