"CASPER, Wyo. - Mitt Romney's attention to Wyoming paid off Saturday as he won most of the 12 presidential delegates at stake in the state's Republican county conventions.

The former Massachusetts governor gained the first four delegates and six of the first eight to be selected Saturday. Fred Thompson and California Rep. Duncan Hunter, who both also visited Wyoming, won the other two that had been decided, meaning no other candidate could beat Romney.

Coming two days after the Iowa caucuses and three days before the New Hampshire primary, the early date of the Wyoming GOP county conventions was intended to draw candidates' attention to the state, but has had only modest results."


hand to god, i didn't even know there was a republican caucus in wyoming. :shrug:

1. The GOP caucus in Wyoming

consists of twenty Mormons, four sheep farmers, and a couple of snowboard bums from Jackson Hole.

(Joking. All apologies to Wyoming DUers from a Texan who reads too much Texas-bashing here.)

12. Is there any doubt that religion is a neurological disorder?

A largely mormon state votes for the mormon.

Issues like health care or education or poverty be damned.
