Romney Wins; Thompson, Hunter Tie for 2nd

With 75% of the vote counted, GOP Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney has won the Wyoming Republican Caucuses.

Wyoming, however, is not a winner-take-all state. Although Romney has won 7 of the 12 available delegates to the GOP convention, both Fred Thompson and Duncan Hunter picked up one delegate each.

With only 3 delegates left to be won, this means that Romney cannot lose. However, he could well pick up more delegates as the Mormon vote comes in from the southwest sector of the state.

Early indications show that Fred Thompson could also pick up at least one more delegate, meaning he would finish a solid 2nd, pushing Hunter back into 3rd place.
