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.

Thompson Surging, Ties Hunter for 2nd Place

Former U.S. Senator Fred Thompson, R-Tennessee, has experienced a surge in Wyoming and is now tied with Duncan Hunter for 2nd place. Each has one delegate with 20% of the vote.

Mitt Romney remains in first place with 50% of the vote and 6 delegates.

Wyoming Republican Caucuses Today

Always committed to telling you what the mainstream media won't, we at The Liberty Sphere will keep you informed about the headlines beneath the headlines, and the information buried by supposedly 'more important endeavors.'

The Wyoming Republican Caucuses take place today, Saturday, Jan. 5, 2008.

If you had only been paying attention to the mainstream media or the Press, you would have never heard about this event.

Very few delegate votes are at stake in this event, yet Wyoming is a vital part of the political process, given that it is in the middle of one of the strongest Republican areas in the nation.

Fred Thompson, Duncan Hunter, and Mitt Romney have campaigned in the state, while the rest have placed Wyoming on the back burner. Rumor has it that Mitt Romney will do very well here, but there is no solid evidence to back that up.

The reason is that no polling data has been gathered. Perhaps the various polling organizations do not consider Wyoming to be important enough to invest the time and money.

Thus, the only count to be taken will be the actual vote itself, and Wyoming's preferred candidate will be chosen by the end of the process.

As always, the Liberty Sphere will keep you informed of the results of the Wyoming Republican Caucuses as soon as they are made available.
