“Anyone know if there will be “live” results from Wyoming as well?”

I would also like to know. Notice there has not been any news about the Wyoming primary which I believe is tomorrow. I did hear on the radio today that the feeling is the GOP candidates are kind of even in polls in Wyoming. That no one has a lead. If the primary is tomorrow, then the results will not be known until late tomorrow evening. I am looking forward to the debate tomorrow on ABC at 7:00PM Eastern and the Fox debate on Sunday at 8:00PM Eastern! Two chances for Fred to gain more and more supporters! GO FRED!

The following indicates they will have totals as they come in from the County Conventions.

www.wygop.org

Wyoming is a caucus state and not like any I’ve read about. But then I’m not that familiar with caucus operations. It does seem to me that their procedure is the height of good ol’ boy political back patting.

Tomorrows county conventions as I understand what little I’ve read are schedule to occur at various time throughout the day [some as early as 8am and others as late as 5pm]. The counties are aligned in pairs, one county electing the national convention delegate and the other electing the alternate with the delegate/alternate reversed for the next election cycle.. One county elects both. There will be selected 12 delegates and 12 alternates.

The county conventions taking place tomorrow are attended by three representatives from each precinct within that county which were selected some time back at the precinct event. In all total there will be some 980 people divided among the various county conventions that will make the selections.... The following link gives a little info about the process:

I may have misrepresented some of the process and if so I’m sure someone will correct it. In all I guess it works for Wyoming but I’d have to reserve judgement about it until I have a more indepth understanding. First glance to me looks like a lot of back scratching among the party regulars.

Doubt it. Media is not interested in "fly-over country". And they're certainly not interested in anything that helps Fred.
