Obama wins Wyoming

Obama won the Wyoming caucuses today.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23534864/

Yet another win in a caucus state. He maintains (and has for some time now) a lead in both the popular vote as well as pledged delegates. Yet I keep hearing Clinton and her people make claims like "We've won the larger states" or "We're winning in states that a Dem nominee needs to win to win the White House."

Every talking head I've heard and every article I've read has stated neither he nor her can reach the needed number of delegates without the so called super delegates. But they also say she can not catch him in either the popular vote or the delegate count.

This leaves her having to make arguments like those above. I think Obama needs to make a pitch to the super delegates like- "Yes, she's won some large states, so have we. And yes she's won some typically Dem states. The two things she hasn't won is the most votes or the most delegates. She seems to have the same problem with the definition of "win" that her husband had in determining what the definition of the word is "is."
