Just a reminder that Wyoming will hold its Caucus tomorrow and select its 12 delegates to the party convention. Almost no one is paying attention to the state and only Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson and Rep. Duncan Hunter have visited since September.

There is almost no current indication how the vote will go but you can check out caucus rules for the state.

From CNN:

Republican John McCain’s campaign responded to a statement by rival Mitt Romney that there was “no way” the Arizona senator could claim to be a candidate of change by sending reporters a 2002 quote in which he said McCain “has always represented change.”

“There’s no way that Sen. McCain is going to be able to come to New Hampshire and say that he’s the candidate that represents change — that he’ll change Washington. He is Washington,” Romney said on the campaign trail Friday.

Shortly afterwards, the McCain camp circulated comments Romney made when he was running for governor of Massachusetts more than five years ago.

“One of the reasons the people of America honor Sen. McCain and why I’m so proud to have him standing with me today is that he has brought American values to the debate on the issues we care about,” Romney said at the time. “He has always stood for reform and change.”

CNN is reporting that Gov. Bill Richardson, who placed fourth in the Iowa Caucus, is laying off staff.

“We had an extremely large staff in Iowa, and since we have moved onto New Hampshire we have had some layoffs,” Richardson’s presidential campaign spokesman Tom Reynolds told CNN Friday.

Citing strategic political reasons, Reynolds would not say how many campaign aides were let go. He did say that no senior campaign staffers have been asked to take pay cuts.

“We have the resources we need to be competitive in the early states,” Reynolds said.

Neutralize Clinton as the old, equalize himself with Obama as the change candidate, cut the head off of Obama by saying he doesn’t have the ability to actually bring about change.

Why Do It This Way? Classic pickle-in-the-middle. Let Clinton continue hitting Obama as inexperienced, let Obama hit Clinton as being the status quo and untrustworthy, jump into the spotlight and get as much media attention as possible to provide actual policy positions while Obama seemingly avoids them. “Obama has a more philosophical, academic approach” is how he put it on CNN a moment ago.

Second stance? ‘They have all the money, I am the underdog.’

My take? It is probably the best bet he has. Let Clinton hang herself and do the heavy negative lifting against Obama. Let Obama attack Clinton and hope he continues to avoid specifics when the debates come.

Either the Obama campaign has some indication that things are indeed turning for him in New Hampshire beyond the expected bump an Iowa win will give them or Barack Obama is just feeling the high of a Caucus win because today he had this to say:

“If you give me the same chance Iowa did last night, I truly believe I will be the next president of the United States.” - Said to a Portsmouth, NH audience

Now a politician boasting of their own chances is nothing new but as Clinton & Edwards begin to hit him today and more than a few in the media probably look to start releasing a couple of not so flattering stories to help balance out the positive press onslaught he will receive, Obama might not want to go around raising his own expectations through the roof. If you look over that statement you have to consider the opposite. If the Senator doesn’t take New Hampshire, does that mean he might not be the next president?

Last night he boasted that there was no need to change any strategy as the one he had was working well. Though both statements might be true, depending on how you look at things, now is not the time to get arrogant but the time to ride this win into what will be a pretty ferocious fight. Before a nominee Obama can move onto a multi-month bare-knuckle fight against republicans, he has to face one against Democrats.

Not to be Mr. Cynical or Negative here but in another election year one could rest for a few days on the laurels of a win. In our condensed schedule that isn’t going to happen. Super Tuesday is just around the corner and Obama should be thinking about Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, California, Illinois, Tennessee etc.
