Wyoming vote takes on importance of JFK era

NOT since 1960 have Wyoming Democrats felt so relevant.

That year, at the Democratic National Convention, the state’s delegation cast 15 votes that pushed Senator John F Kennedy over the top and made him the party’s nominee for president.

With this year’s race for the Democratic nomination still unsettled, Wyoming Democrats are feeling relevant again as Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama focus on the 12 delegates at stake in Saturday’s caucus.
