Democrat Barack Obama beat rival Hillary Clinton in Wyoming's nominating contest over the weekend, bouncing back from a string of losses that gave Mrs Clinton new life in their hotly contested presidential battle.

Mr Obama's victory in the nominating caucus in sparsely populated Wyoming slowed Mrs Clinton's momentum after she won three of four contests on Tuesday in their tight duel for the right to face Republican John McCain in November's presidential election.

With 96 per cent of caucus sites reporting, Mr Obama led Mrs Clinton by 59 per cent to 40 per cent.
