Well, no win for Hillary in Wyoming, and it really wasn't that close although it wasn't as lopsided as previous caucuses were. Obama won by 17 points.
I made the mistake of not knowing when the results would be known. I assumed that the counting would take place after 8 pm as in most other primaries but it turned out that results came in throughout the day starting in the morning local time. This would de-emphasize the importance of the position of the transiting Moon, for example.
Obama will will win Mississippi on Tuesday but I still wonder if he isn't due for more frustrations in the next few days. If the DNC decides on a do-over in Michigan and Florida, this would be a boost to Hillary, assuming they were primaries and not caucuses.

Sir do you follow vedic planetery position or western astrolody positions? The planets I think in westerne astrology are 23 degrees ahead as compared to vedic. currently, Mars is in gemini according to vedic but in cancer as per western
sir,
you share obama birth particulars with us? his date time and place of birth?
I follow Vedic planetary positions according to the Lahiri ayanamsha.
Obama's birth time has not been confirmed. A birth time that has emerged from a second hand source is 13.06 on Aug 4 1961 in Honolulu, Hawaii. This chart works fairly well and is used by most astrologers.
But I would suggest taking a look at the campaign chart for Senator Obama. His campaign for the nomination was launched Feb 10 2007 at 10.13 CST in Springfield, Illinois.
In terms of delegates it was not an overwhelming win for Obama. He got 7 delegates vs. Hillary getting 5 delegates. Just to put in perspective in Wyoming about 8000 people decided the fate of 12 delegates. In contrast in Ohio every 15000 votes decided one delegate. Thats why win in big states is important.
Hi Christopher,
Please comment on Hillary-Obama dream ticket from the astro-perspective.
thanks,

Archana -- I will try to post something on that later this week. It does seem to be a pressing issue for HRC and the only way she will convince superdelegates to come on board.
I was reading in the news on many sites. It appears that Obama has refused the idea that he would be VP. Clinton having previously stated that Obama was not experienced enough to be president is being critized for contradicting the earlier statement and putting forward the possiblity that he chould be Vice President. I think at this point that some people on both sides would be dissappointed if either candidate ended up on the VP spot, because they're both competing saying the other person is flawed. At this point, it has pretty much divided the democratic party between moderates (who support Hillary) and hardcore anti-war liberals (who support Obama by an overwhelming margin).
Also on the Clinton-Obama ticket, the problem is right now, Obama holds the delegate lead and the lead in popular votes. If some how, Clinton is able to overtake that lead or move forward in the popular vote. Then she'd be able to make the case. I think the campaign screwed up by offering this scenario too early. As long as Obama keeps winning, there's no reason for him to concede or accept the VP position. I do also think the press in general, msnbc (cnn to a lesser extent) and also progressive talk radio, has been very biased against Hillary - I don't know the reason for this, every politician has flaws, but they do seem to favor Obama. They have been largely unfair to her as I see it.
Hi Chris
Obama's missisipi win was very convincing I thought though he was propelled by the huge support of the african american voters in missisipi. Doesn't look like it will be possible for Hillary to gain enough ground in the subsequent primaries to clinch the nomination...its certainly looking very bleak for her right now. The remark made by samantha power didn't create as much of a ripple as was expected ...and also yesterday obama came out very strong against hillary's suggestion that he should settle for the vice presidency. why is it that he is continuing to win so decisively...and do you still think there will be light at the end of the tunnel for hillary?
Chris,
How are you proceeding with US Elections?
Is it Democrats vs Republicans or is it contestant based?
What's your take on Hillary vs Obama?
I would love to read your comments.

Hi Chris,
I just thought of something. What is the possibility that Clinton would run on an independent ticket if she doesn't get the Democratic party's nomination in the fall? (Similar to what Senator Lieberman did - and he won). All she has to do is stay the course through the end, make the best case with her voters and her support base. If she has enough support even at the end, I can see her pulling this off. I think that she would be better than either Obama or McCain on the economy which is what's going to matter the most in this election. If the Iraq situation improves, I see Obama losing to John McCain.
Thanks!
blazer -- I agree that the improvement in Iraq hurts Obama and helps McCain. But that also makes Clinton a good compromise candidate -- wants to get out but perhaps more prudently than Obama.
I can't see Hillary pulling a Lieberman, but the nomination will get pretty messy. I'll see if I can make sense of any of the Dem Party charts to shed some light on this possibility. It just seems far-fetched. Especially since I think Hillary will win the nomination by the convention.
anales -- it's true the Power comments are offset to some extent by the Ferraro comments. But Hillary is going to win PA and she will get the momentum again. Actually she will get it before then. I'll post something soon.
