I'm beginning to see Hillary's tie/win in Wyoming as being a significant marker in this race.
First came NV, where Sanders was trending towards a win coming off his yuge win in NH. Hillary stopped him there, winning by 5 points at a crucial time heading into SC. That was followed by
Super Tuesday I, where Hillary took 8 contests to Sanders' 5 (including wins in delegate-rich states like TX, MA & GA), then
Super Tuesday II (March 15), where Hillary ran the table, taking 5 states to Sanders' zero in a contest that included huge wins in OH and FL,
and now,
Wyoming, where her surprise win stopped Sanders string of small-state victories and showed that the bad publicity Sanders' was generating for himself is having adverse effects on his candidacy.
In isolation, WY may not seem like a big deal. But taken in context, it shows that Hillary has a lot of support out there, and that said support tends to rise to the occasion and to assert itself at critical points in the campaign season.
And just as NV was an important victory ahead of the SC primary, I believe WY will have a similar effect on the next primary coming up, New York.
