Romney now leads in GOP convention delegates. Including Iowa's delegates, which is selected at a state convention, Romney leads Huck 26 to 20.

Romney officially in the lead!!!!!!!!

Welcome to Free Republic!

BTW are you related to Mitt? :0)

[CounterCounterCulture]

Rep. Duncan Hunter of California won one

Thank you to all the Hunter supporters in Wyoming for getting Duncan on the scoreboard.

Don't give up, folks. Vote your conscience and support conservatives if you want a conservative in the White House.

Wheres the other 2 delegates?

[MrPiper]

A vote for Hominy or the Huckster is a vote for legalizing the crime of illegal immigrants, more crime, and higher taxes. Don’t say you haven’t been warned!

[CounterCounterCulture]

Larimer said two delegates remained undecided while officials counted all the votes. A final tally was expected later in the day.

Ive seen elsewhere that Mitt took 8.

Hope Fred gets 3 min.

Now let’s see the LameStreamMedia change their mantra. Don’t hold your breath.
Congratulations Mitt!

Confused?

[AmericanMade1776]

Wyoming is as conservative as they come, who they have voted for in Past Presidential Elections.

How Wyoming has voted on Presidents in the past

1972 Nixon
1976 Ford (notice No CARTER vote there)
1980 Reagan
1984 Reagan
1988 GH Bush
1992 GH Bush (NO BUBBA CLINTON)
1996 Bob Dole
2000 Bush/Cheney

[AmericanMade1776]

Fred got two

[mylife]

Just looking for the lost 2

So far

[counterpunch]

Good For Romney. He needs a win in between his two first in the nation losses to keep him going.
All the candidates need to spread around the delegates fairly evenly. Even Ron Paul got a couple in Iowa and will get several in New Hampsire (coming in 3rd above Huckabee.)

Everything is right on target for a brokered convention early September, where Fred Thompson will emerge the surprise consensus nominee. Until then the Democrat nominee will be taking fire from all the GOP candidates who will be auditioning for the lead role, while the Democrat won’t have a clear opponent to target.

Go Mitt!
Go Mike!
Go Fred!
Go Rudy!
Go John!
Go Ron!
Go Duncan!

Let’s swarm the Democrats and run circles around them so they never even knew what hit them.

[CrAZyFreeper]

No - Fred only got 2.

(cue everyone saying how Wyoming isn’t representative of the party - and how we’ve got to wait for Florida and California to decide this)

[CrAZyFreeper]

Do you really think that people who actually got more delegates than Thompson (which right now - and as of NH and Florida, will be Mitt McHuckliani) will just roll over and say “Oh, well, let’s just give it to Fred!”?

Please.

[MrPiper]

A vote for Hominy, Goolie, or the Huckster is a vote for legalizing the crime of illegal immigrants, more crime, and higher taxes. Don’t say you haven’t been warned!

Sorry, but I don't think Fred would become a "consensus nominee." He doesn't have enough dynamism and charisma to win many more people. I have a dream in which the deadlocked convention listens to a speech by Hunter and stampedes to him, but realistically, that won't happen either. Probably there will be backroom deals in which some of the leaders drop out in return for big policy concessions (or VP or Cabinet jobs) from the remaining one(s).

Congratulations to Mitt, Fred and Duncan.

What an exciting primary season this is shaping up to be!
