Some huge turnout in Wyoming today. This is how Fox News reported the situation at the Cheyenne Civic Center: Overwhelming out of control and lines around the block. Those are all words that have been used to describe turnout. At the Cheyenne Civic Center they were planning for 500 they got 2000. So good right? Well not for everyone. They later had a Wyoming state rep on who reported that in Casper "they had to turn people away. The line was queued up around the building when they shut the doors." Turning people away? Really? has more: In Sweetwater County more than 500 people crowded into a high school auditorium and another 500 were lined up to get inside. "I'm worried about where we're going to put them all. But I guess everybody's got the same problem " said Joyce Corcoran a local party official. "So far we're OK. But man they keep coming." Party officials were struggling with how to handle the overflow crowds. The start of the Converse County caucus was delayed due to long lines. In Cheyenne scores of late arrivers were turned away when party officials stopped allowing people to get in line at 11 a.m. EST. A party worker stood at the end of the line with a sign reading "End of the line. Caucus rules require the voter registration process to be closed at this time." Vera Double 71 said she arrived late because she had a hard time finding parking. "I'm so proud to see there are this many Democrats showing up in Cheyenne but I'm very disappointed in the rules because we had difficulty parking and we had a long walk and they closed it off at 9 (a.m. MST) " she said. "I consider it we're disenfranchised which they've done in other parts of the country." Look caucuses make sense for states that are not used to mattering in the process and where turnout is usually paltry; caucuses are far cheaper than a primary after all. But that alone should give us all pause. The fact that finances drive the decision to engage in a process that is on several counts an exercise in dis-enfranchisement is really disturbing. Maximizing participation should be paramount not saving money. Update [2008-3-8 16:18:15 by Jerome Armstrong]: I was reading through a thread over on and came across this: 'The total vote to total delegates is listed as 8553 Obama to 9289 Clinton.' In essence for every delegate earned it's taken Clinton 736 votes more for each delegate she's gotten compared with Obama. I'd like to get that number checked out. It's quite a bit of a handicap that Obama's being handed through his process-powered campaign. In the end I believe that the "Math Club" is gonna be trumped by the popular vote total in terms of importance for the nomination. Tags: ( )

The Marlins will play two games today but only one will be official. The official one is against Baltimore in Jupiter. The Marlins starting pitcher is Ricky Nolasco. The Orioles will send Adam Loewen to the hill. Game time is 1:05 p.m. The other game is an intrasquad game on one of the back fields at the complex. The intrasquad game will begin at 11:30 a.m. The game will feature the following pitchers and everyone else who isn't playing in the main game. The pitchers in the intrasquad game include: Mark Hendrickson Kevin Gregg Matt Lindstrom and Lee Gardner. But back to the game against Baltimore here is the Magic Updating Box and Gameday I hope. The game will be on both local radio affiliates 790 The Ticket and WQBA 1140. Have a Great Sunday!

As I approach the end of my first year at Portfolio.com I've now officially posted my 2 000th blog entry here. (In fact they weren't all mine: many thanks to for pinch-hitting for a few weeks last summer.) In honor of this milestone I think it's time to change the official description of the blog (above) - while the blog has been something of a success it certainly didn't quite turn out as originally intended - I can't even remember when I last wrote about 'the people behind the big deals'. So any suggestions as to a replacement? Related Links

The learning curve is definitely steeper than I thought. Especially regarding exposure settings and a few other functions. Still the first official outing is under my belt and I can move forward.

We all know who we need to win this game for: Photo Credit: It's Lorenzo (and Matt's) last day as Seniors at Pauley. While its not official we are also going to be seeing KL DC (and may be even RW should he blow up in the Big Dance) last time put on their UCLA whites in the Cathedral Coach Wooden built. We are sure Bears are going to come out wanting to spoil the party. But for the reasons mentioned alone (not to mention the need to shore up a 1 seed out West) we have to win game. For more on the Senior Day game go . The tip off is set for 12:30 pm PST (ABC Regional). If you are not getting the game on television you can it via . As always if you are watching listening following or tracking the game online post your comments here. This is our Ben Ball Warrior open thread. Fire Away. GO BRUINS.
