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.

It was an allusion, commenting on the absurdly biased coverage in favor of RINOs.
For the most part.
LOL...last I looked, he was leading the polls in N.H.
So how is that "progressive" Senator from VA, Jim Webb, that you worked so hard to elect in 2006 working out for you MD?
Well, phony solider, you of all persons should like the job he's done...he was one of the lone Dems to vote against the Bush-pushed immigration plan you find so odious. Meanwhile, your buddy "Macaca" has gone back to practicing law--incidentally (NEWS ALERT) his firm up here is a growing 'fave among those dirty Mexicans you so hate.
Same with Rudy, he's the one to watch in florida.
You are one of the few IGNORANT and ARROGANT FReepers still supporting John "Bob Dole Jr" McCain.
Would of thought your disastrous 2006 political love affair with Jim "He worn the Uniform" Webb would of cured you of your over romanticized vision of politicians.
Have you ever considered the possibility that Dole probably would have won, had not little tyrant H. Ross Perot (the Ron Paul of 1996) stuck his 3rd party bid into the fray and had not Dole constantly refered to himself in the 3rd person. Perot's entire campaign came because of hatred for the Bush family and he eliminated GHW Bush in the 1992 election because of some sort of weird notion of "black helicopters ruining his dauther's wedding." In '96, the election was purely about himself, nothing else.
You're too hung up on Vietnam-era cowards like Rush Limbaugh telling you how to think, Johnny ... and your admiration for a rubberstamp, ashamed-of-his-Jewish heritage and ineffective senator such as George Allen is much misplaced. (I knew him as a governor...he sponsored terrible programs such as SOLs for our public schools, where students are now dumbed down to the lowest common denominator. He is also the reason we are suffering from the illegals you so hate, as his economic and governmental policies encouraged migrants here).
BTW, although I admired his Vietnam service and SECNAV tenure under Reagan, I never voted for Webb...I wrote in the libertarian candidate running. Meanwhile, your "hero" Romney vigorously campaigned and voted for ultraliberal Paul Tsongas!
You are confusing likability for electability. People respect McCain for his Military service. He also has huge name recognition. Thus when the average voter hears a list of names, the ones they know they tend to favor. Thus 11 months out McCain has a high likability number because people vaguely associate his name with his military history. That number can only drop as McCain campaigns of the Presidency and has to take position at odds with those of average voters.
It also interesting how you McCainiancs overlook that Obama has virtually the same number without any of McCain’s negatives.
Really? You check the threads on FR lately Johnny? People here hate McCain with a vehemence that goes well beyond Clinton. He's been called everything from a wartime collaborator to a traitor who's endorsed the impeachment of "W". And the most often refrain I see is "Never"!
Me, I plan to vote for the GOP candidate chosen--even if it should be the disgusting cowardly figure of Mitt or looney Ron Paul--because I consider the presidency too precious to hand to someone like Obama or Hillary. (Shhhhh! OTOH, if some patriotic Dem such as Joe Lieberman or Sam Nunn were running you better believe that I'd dump a phony like Romney in a heartbeat)
