BERNIE SANDERS PROJECTED TO WIN WYOMING

++Bernie Sanders is set to win the Wyoming caucus. That only leaves one caucus left--North Dakota.

++Where does that leave him? David Wasserman at 538 writes today that Sanders is less competitive than he appears.

++Hillary Clinton has a 469 to 31 lead in superdelegates. Sanders has 46% of the pledged delegates but only 42% of the vote. He needs 56% of the remaining delegates and 60% of the popular vote to match Hillary Clinton.

++So the theme is Sanders has momentum but that leaves him far in the hole despite today's victory.
