And the delegates go to Romney, Thompson and Hunter!

It took a good 10 minutes for me to fully understand the results of the Wyoming caucus. First, I got confused when I tried to match up the numbers, given the fact that YESTERDAY the NYT had listed Wyoming didn't get penalized by the RNC for moving their caucus up so they got 28 delegates...and what HO! this morning, the NYT and others show that indeed the RNC DID penalize Wyoming so they only had 12 delegates.

Once I figured THAT out, I visited several different news sites (USA Today, ABC News, The Seattle Times and the Wyoming Tribune) to get clearer information and the result is that Romney gets 8 delegates, Thompson gets 3 and Hunter gets 1.

Let's see what their websites reveal (not bothering with the social networking sites, as they are lagging behind on updates anyway)...

Romney: After some digging I found a reference on the BLOG! And that's a quick post from son Craig with a picture of the party in Casper, WY. Nothing anywhere else.

Hunter: Well, nothing has changed at this website -- the Iowa countdown is still going...um...it's negative...but it's still going. So, no word of Wyoming at all.

Thompson: Nope. Nothing. Big focus on the debates from last night.

WEll Wyoming -- in the article from the Wyoming Tribune it's clear you feel pretty good about the fact that you actually had several candidates VISIT your state before the caucus -- and that this is a step up for you from the past. The article actually talks about 2012 putting Wyoming more in the spotlight. Yeah. Good luck on that! Was it worth losing the 12 delegates? You know, for all the media and candidate attention you received? [insert cricket chirping sound effect here].

On to New Hampshire!
