This is worth reading about. tl;dr - Obama helps get a guy elected, McCain helps the guy's rival. Obama's guy, Foster, wins. But there's more to it, so read the article

Math time with goon "Smackbilly"
Math fun time:
Obama's delegate spread following the Wyoming caucus is better than it was before March 4. Hillary has gained nothing.
According to CNN, the pledged delegates have broken:
TX (Primary): Clinton +4
OH: Clinton +12
RI: Clinton +5
VT: Obama +3
-------------
Subtotal: Clinton +18
TX (Caucus) delegates have not been projected yet, but if take the current 56/44 results and assume that the 67 caucus delegates will be apportioned that way, that makes
TX (Caucus): Obama +9
---------------------
Subtotal: Clinton +9
Wyoming is splitting 7-4 +1 bonus for Obama, so
WY: Obama +4
---------------------
Subtotal: Clinton +5
And according to
http://demconwatch.blogspot.com/2008/01/superdelegate-list.html , from March 4 until now, Obama has gained 10 superdelegate endorsements, and clinton has gained 4, so
Superdelegates (since 3/4): Obama +6
------------------------------------
GRAND TOTAL: Obama +1
Oh, and it looks like California is finished counting votes and the delegate count has slightly shifted, giving Obama another +3 or +4.
Not a bad week :)
A win in Wyoming!
