Barack Obama took the Wyoming caucus, winning 61% of the votes to Clinton's 38% in final counting. With the win, Obama will add 7 delegates to his list, bringing his total number of delegates to 1,578.
Voter turnout was high at the Wyoming caucuses, indicating that voters are still keen on picking a strong leader who will represent the Democrats in this year's presidential elections.
The Wyoming caucus is a small one and lists only 12 delegates, but the win extends the number of states Obama has won and his psychological advantage—Wyoming counts as his 25th state.
"We have won twice as many states as Senator Clinton, and have a higher popular vote," Obama said in an interview with a CBS affiliate on Friday.
Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton has a total of 1,468 delegates, 5 of whom she won in today's caucus.
Ms. Clinton has won only 16 states, compared to Obama who has taken 25 states. However, Ms. Clinton has won the majority of large states, including New York, California, Texas and Ohio, which have a larger number of delegates.
However, both candidates currently have no chance of reaching the magic number of 2,025 delegates needed to secure the Democratic Party's presidential nomination.
Political watchers say the intense competition in Democratic Party gives John McCain, who has secured the Republican party's nomination, time to regroup his campaign and court some conservative Republicans who are reluctant to support him because of his perceived liberal slant.
Obama and Clinton now head to Mississippi which holds primaries this Tuesday.
