Did anyone realize that they'd had their Republican caucus already? I didn't, but I was checking stuff out CNN.com for some stuff about New Hampshire tonight, and apparently it was on Saturday. Romney snagged himself eight delegates, Fred Thompson got three, and *get this* Duncan Hunter got one.

I know it's not a hugely populated state, and so not as sexy as Iowa or New Hampshire, but that's still an extra eight delegates in the bank for Mitt.

i was under the impression that nobody campaigned there as punishment for the state moving their primary up against their parties wishes in a bid to become more important in the political race...

Damn, I knew Wyoming wasn't sexy but I never realized it was THAT unsexy.

When are they getting to the states that matter, like New York, California, Texas, etc.?

Ah. I wasn't expecting a serious answer. Thanks, I guess.

Either way, I'm not gonna get interested in this until the primaries are over and the final candidates are chosen. Then, I'll research and consider if it's worth it for me to vote this year.

No... in the overall tally she has 169 to Obama 66, and Edwards 47. You must count the SuperDelegates and Pledged Delegates, not just the States Delegates; although, the States Delegates are the biggest overall delegates. But we only have 1.5 states... Wy being the half because Wy have not caucus the Demos yet, just the Repubs.

No it's punishment for giving Women the right to vote before the amendment came into affect, there the reason we got Hilary:cmad:

People live in Wyoming?


I kid....I kid....


People need to watch out for those states in the Intermountain region.....they are in the top 10 states in population growth with Montana #9 last year.........cheap land is moving industries there, and with that the labor pool for that industry......Senate seats and electoral votes will be changing in that region as well as the South, and its going to turn the political world upside down......
