Associated Press ^ | January 5, 2008 | Staff

CASPER, Wyo. — Mitt Romney grabbed the early lead in Wyoming’s Republican caucuses Saturday as the state had its brief moment in the political spotlight sandwiched between attention-getting contests in Iowa and New Hampshire.

The former Massachusetts governor gained the first four delegates while California Rep. Duncan Hunter won a fifth.

Romney easily led the overall vote with more than 50 percent. Hunter was second with 21 percent and Fred Thompson, who hadn’t won any delegates, was third with 17 percent. Results were expected throughout the day.

I haven’t seen them lately though.

The drought is getting a little better so we started sending it on to Thermopolis and Worland. :-)

Drudge and AP confirming Romney’s win...

Let’s see how the rest come out. It looks like the rest will come down to either Hunter or Fred.

Ron Paul has zero thus far... and yes, he has made an appearance... *snicker*

Well, as someone else said, those are real conservatives out there, and Run Paul won’t play well with them. However, whore houses in Nevada seem to like his policies.

No one knows where USAToday is getting their data. But it has proved correct so far when the WYGOP site catches up.

So 7 Romney and 1 for the other two. This could be a rather big win.

What is really nice to see is that the religious conservatives in Wyoming don’t enforce a litmus test that if a candidate is Mormon he is disqualified from getting their vote for no other reason except his Mormon faith.

I have been looking for a count like that since Iowa - where did you get that info? I want a site where I can keep up with the delegate count.

I’m LDS and Mitt troubles me because of his social positions in the past which in my view were anti-LDS.

You and me both. I don't remember the Church ever having an "effectively pro-choice" position.

So what? Romney has also raised alot of $$$ from campaign contributions. But you missed the point of my post. You claimed that Romney was “buying” the vote in Wyoming. You’ve given no proof of how much $$$ he spent campaigning in Wyoming. Unless you have proof, stop blowing smoke about Romney “buying” Wyoming.

It hasn’t. The official Church position was no abortion except in the cases of forcible rape, incest, significant threat to the mother as judged by competent medical practitioners, and when the baby would not survive outside the womb. And those exceptions should only be done with counseling with their bishop and personal prayer.

Isn’t it just amazing that Romney is winning one of our most conservative states! I have a buddy out there who is probably the most conservative guy you could ever meet. He just loves Romney.
