Romney wins Wyoming Republican caucuses
CODY, Wyoming (Reuters) - Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney won the Wyoming Republican presidential caucus on Saturday, taking seven of the state's 12 delegates with nearly all precincts reporting, according to a state party official.
Former Sen. Fred Thompson of Tennessee won two delegates and Rep. Duncan Hunter of California won one, said Amy Larimer, executive director of the Wyoming Republican Party.
Larimer said two delegates remained undecided while officials counted all the votes. A final tally was expected later in the day.
The victory gives Romney supporters something to tout as the focus of the U.S. presidential election shifts to Tuesday's New Hampshire primary. Romney suffered a setback earlier this week in the Iowa caucuses where former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee soundly beat him.

they moved it up because the thought they would get national media attention. what they got was ignored.
Lord Undies:
The entire state has a population of less than 500,000. Ft. Worth, Texas has a population about equal with the entire state of Wyoming. Maybe Ft. Worth should hold primaries.
(This is no slam of Wyoming - lovely state - but it isn't on anyone's radar.)
