CNN: Wyoming went blue in 2004

On election night CNN was pimping their fancy high tech holograms and giant touchable election center screen. At some point in the night one of the analysts was doin 2004-2008 comparisons and contrasts. On the screen they had the electoral college results for Kerry v. Bush. The northeast, upper midwest and coasts were blue. And Wyoming. Apparently John Kerry took 3 EVs from that state. Our house was a bit ocnfused as Wyoming is one of the most republican parts of the country. We quickly went to Daily Kos to get election results from 2004 using their Electoral Scoreboard. We couldn't get a screen shot of the two windows showing the inconsistency, so I got my camera:
The election scoreboard is in the background and CNN is playing through Windows Media Center in the smaller foreground window. Our dog Libby is the spotted thing in the bottom left.
