Still worth noting every single county in Wyoming swung to Obama.

Although he did under-perform Kerry in Hot Springs County, so obviously he didn't do so hot in parts.

1.There is a large Mormon population in Wyoming

Not especially large.  Way smaller than Nevada, which is way smaller than Utah.  Its largeness is more of a relative proposition.

It still probably gave him a couple of points.

Yea, but Mormon population is pretty steady (they vote early and they vote always) and Obama definitely did better than Kerry among them.

I'm not sure I'd say Wyoming is nearly as libertarian as it's made out to be, especially in those counties that didn't swing much.  It's a state that's wealthier in concept, but really rather working-class.
