Wyoming knows the real deal when it sees it!
Obama: Clinton 58:41 as of 4.pm EST
Wyoming is apparently the first state to grant women suffrage in 1869 (just heard it on CNN and googled this link to the full history). And its caucus results today at first blush may seem contrary to this this tradition; however that is not so. It has kept up the true spirit of the suffrage movement, that women's rights are symbolic of rights for every person, race, gender, creed; when we are so far removed from prejudice that we not only do not prevent another class of people (based on gender, creed, color, whatever) from voicing our choice, or do not prevent another person based on gender, creed, color, whatever from representing us in enforcing our choice, then only can we truly claim to have advanced as a democracy.
Till then we are still another "developing" nation!
