I highly doubt she's spent any resources there

the people willing and able to go through the rigmarole of a 2-5 hour caucus.

it's extremely hard to GOTV for that kind of event. very resource intensive with hard to predict returns.

her supporters don't run on passion like Obama's did in 2008 or Bernie's do in 2016. But they sure as hell vote.

She has to spend too much time doing high dollar fundraisers all over the country. It's a little past peak ski season to do one in Jackson Hole.

It sends 14 pledged delegates to the convention. New York, on the other hand, sends 291 delegates to the convention. It looks like Hillary is doing her math homework, really.

Wyoming is also a caucus state, while NY is a closed primary state. If I were Hillary, I'd be in New York, too. Bernie will win in Wyoming and get most of its delegates. He really needs to win strongly in New York, too. If I were him, I'd be in New York as well, and let Wyoming do its own thing.

Math.
