Well there is somewhat of a bright spot for Romney today, he won the Wyoming Primary with 97% of precincts reporting. Of course Wyoming is a tiny state and the primary has received almost no attention (Wyoming moved its primary up but ran into a tough spot when afterwards NH moved up its primary and the state found itself in the middle of the two media events).While it is not anything that will swing the nominating process, it will give Romney a bit of a boost if there is still no clear candidate after NH. If the nominating process does go all the way to the convention, Romney may need the 8 delegates he just garnered from the Wyoming Primary.This pales in comparison to the amount of delegates from Iowa or New Hampshire, but if the election comes down to the convention and Romney has a substantial number of delegates from each state then he could still win this nomination.

Wyoming sacrificed half of their delegates in order to hold
zach | 6 01 2008Wyoming sacrificed half of their delegates in order to hold the early primary, and it didn’t quite pay off as they expected. Wyoming’s Republican Committee had suggested that an early primary would bring attention and visits from candidates to the states, and many still have not visited. Regardless, the attempt to grab press wasn’t successful as well, and few news organizations have reported on the Romney victory, leading me to believe it means nearly nothing for the campaign. None of the Sunday morning news shows have asked Governor Romney about it, and his campaign has been silent as well. While it may get Romney excited for New Hampshire on Tuesday, his performance in NH is what’s critical for his standing as a viable candidate.
