Mitt Romney wins the Wyoming Republican Caucus
January 5, 2008 
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney swept away the competition in Wyoming’s Republican caucuses Saturday:
With 91 percent of precincts reporting, Romney has won eight of Wyoming’s 12 delegates.
Former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson has won two, and California Rep. Duncan Hunter has won one.
Wyoming’s Republican contest comes two days after the Iowa caucuses and three days before the New Hampshire primary.
The early date of the Wyoming GOP county conventions was intended to draw candidates’ attention to the state, but has had only modest results.
The effort by Wyoming’s GOP party to gain more attention for the state vastly failed, as the last candidate to visit the state was Duncan Hunter on December 4th.
The caucuses were also largely overshadowed by the dual presidential debates airing on ABC the same day, where candidates were focused on the New Hampshire primaries.
