Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney will win the Wyoming Republican caucuses, CNN projects.
Mitt Romney will win the Wyoming Republican caucuses, CNN projects.
With 91 percent of precincts reporting, Romney has won eight of Wyoming's 12 delegates.
Former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson has won two, and California Rep. Duncan Hunter has won one.
Wyoming's Republican contest comes 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.
Republican hopefuls Romney, Hunter, Fred Thompson and Ron Paul all stopped by the state -- visits they probably wouldn't have made except for this year's early conventions -- and candidates have sent Wyoming's GOP voters a flood of campaign mail.
The traditional leadoff nomination contests in Iowa and New Hampshire have dominated the attention of both candidates and the national media in recent months, and no candidates visited Wyoming in the four weeks leading up to the caucuses.
Hunter was the last to visit the state on December 4.

Woopee...guess the cowboys and real men were too busy with rodeos or watching the NFL playoffs so only the Wyoming sheep(PLE) went to the polls for the Romulan as his cloaking device was successful here.
Hunter has won two.
Fred Thompson and Duncan Hunter, two conservatives who both campaigned in the Cowboy state, each won two delegates. Ron Paul, a Texan who also campaigned there and beat Giuliani in Iowa, won none.

Republicans in Wyoming know a good thing when they see it.
What use does he have for CNN projects? ;-P
Fred got 2...excellent, and Hunter got a delegate. Good for him!
That’s why the unbribed and intelligent ones voted for Fred and Duncan. ;-)
Its disgusting that so many sheeple have no connection with reality and truth.
The Dark Side grows stronger each day, and we conservatives have no choice but to watch and shake our heads.
Hunter also got two.
Nothing for Huckster or McQeeg
Ping!
Where is the 12th delegate?
really impressed conservatives in Wyoming!!
Rudy impressed them just as much as Ron Paul did...lol
What a tremendous victory by Romney.
Fred, Mitt and Duncan got the delegates. None for McQueeg, Huckabee or Paul. Sounds good to me.
A BIG FAT ARKANSAS ZERO for Huck!!!
These results really surprise me.
Officially these are the first delegates to the GOP National Convention. WY delegates go directly to the convention. Iowa’s caucus delegates have to go thru county and state conventions, so they don’t officially count for the National GOP convention right now.
Where is the speculation that McCain and Rudy will quit, since they are so far behind?
Nowhere. They are far behind in states like Wyoming that have only a couple delegates but they are far ahead in states like California and New York that have hundreds.
