Thanks for that! Finally a site which is reporting

[Brent Canada]

I love how thy put Paul on the bottom of the list. Even though everyones tied.

Coincidence I'm sure.

[szczebrzeszyn]

I wonder, why Paul is on the very bottom of the list...

[garrettwombat]

what do you mean by 8% reporting... all i see is 100% for romney

[j6p]

Rommney got 1 vote ha

[j6p]

precients

[fortilite]

That's Teton county most likely, they convention first and Romney did very well there.

[fxmercenary]

I wonder, why Paul is on the very bottom of the list...

i dunno, biden is on the top of the list for dems so it looks upside down, that means ron paul is on top woot!

[Sey.Naci]

How many precincts are there?

[acroso]

[Menthol Patch]

I'm surprised I have not heard someone scream,

"Oh NOZE! Romney got ONE VOTE! The campaign is OVER! Lets spend the rest of this month demanding that the campaign fire everybody at headquarters and not spend ONE DAY campaigning! THE GAME IS OVER! We have LOST! Those of you that don't realize this are NOT FACING REALITY! There is no way we can come back from this!"

[GHoeberX]

BTW; here's another page with Wyoming Results:

[fortilite]

3 conventions started at 8 (10 est) so we should see some more results soon.

[Badger Paul]

There are 23 counties and half of them pick delegates and the other half picks alternates. One county reported in its results so Romeny has one of the 12 delegates at stake.

Thanks... but, ghouliani a leader? rofl

[malibu]

So far it looks like one Wyoming county convention that picks full delegates is already finished and voted for Romney - it says 8% of precincts reporting.

So Mitt fans that are lurking here -
you may have actually earned the very first actual delegate for Minneapolis on September 3, 2008.

Ever heard of alphabetical order? ;) ... except candidates with votes get moved to the top of the chart... and Tancredo and Thompson get a free ride for some unknown reason. :)

That's what I was wonderning about :)

[greenwave88]

why does aol say that 28 delegates are at stake? Thats not right is it? Does that include alternates?

A strange caucussystem. ;)

[LinearChaos]

looks like it is sorted alphabetically from Romney since he has the only vote, and loops back around.

[makrothymia]

Because he cares and we care about what's happening all around the USA to everyone in every State, because every voice makes a difference...(Group Hug)

[TurtleBurger]

If 1 vote is 8% of precincts, then we should only need 7 votes to win the state. :D

Lol, I am starting to like you MP.

Thumbs WAY up on this post! :D

[Sey.Naci]

BTW; here's another page with Wyoming Results:

http://news.aol.com/elections/primary/state/WY/republicansDon't like the AOL one.

First, AOL has been horrible to RP and USA Today more fair, relatively speaking. Second, AOL - per their usual bias -, includes the Huckster's photo (and Rudy & Romney) and title their table as "Wyoming Leaders."

So I'll go with the less graphically nice, but somewhat more fair USA Today chart; and yeah, why ARE the candidates not listed alphabetically?

[malibu]

As I understand Wyoming, a county convention picks a delegate - or some counties pick an alternate -
and one convention (the largest ?) picks both a delegate and an alternate delegate.

Finishing second everywhere might leave you shut out ??

----------------------------------
At least in Iowa we won one county - and alot of precincts in Dubuque County (catholic, with 10 RP delegates)
and several student precincts in Johnson County which we totally ruled over sending all Ron Paul delegates to the county "semi-finals" in March -
unlike Fred and McLame who finished third everywhere in Iowa and got virtually shut out in most every precinct for the Iowa county conventions in March.

psst don't tell CNN / Wolfe - makes him look like an ar%se to laugh at.

Geez, it's an alphabetical order! Romney is first in the "leaders section" because of 1 vote and then it goes alphabetically, because all the rest has 0. No conspiracy here!

[Diana]

What's taking so long?

Some conventions haven't even started yet. I have more than 2 hours before mine starts, but I'm getting ready to go now, just stopped by here quick first.

So Far:

Albany County has chosen Tammy Johnson as their delegate and she is supporting Mitt Romney.

Weston County has chosen an alternate delegate: Donna Bunch, and she is undeclared.

Thanks for the update Diana!

[amistybleu]

This is like watching grass grow. :confused:

[Jared Callanan]

Not sure how true it is and hopefully it isn't, but a guy I was talking to from Wyoming the other day said Romney had all but two of the delegates locked up.

[UCFGavin]

so the delegates are basically the ones running for election?

[HillbillyDan]

Blimp

[american2]

Weston County has chosen an alternate delegate: Donna Bunch, and she is undeclared.

What does it mean when a delegate is undeclared under the wyoming system? The other delegate is voting for Mitt Romney, but this delegate can vote for whoever she chooses up to election day? It doesn't make sense.

[JulioForPaul]

Thanks for the update Diana. Is there any way you can keep posting.....because your doing a better job than any of the national media outlets:)

[LRW]

Laramie delegate goes to Mitt Romney, he now has two.

[fortilite]

Crap. Romney is really going to clean house with this one.

[TeeJay]

Can somone please explain the Wyoming caucus process?

It seems as though it is a winner take all system with each precinct electing one delegate who votes for whoever gained the plurality of the voting. If that is the case, then it is quite likely that Ron Paul could receive zero delegates even though he could be polling relatively high but just not first in any one precinct.

Thoughts?

[j6p]

be lucky to have 1 delegate now

[Elwar]

Well, we will at least have one vote by Diana and I think I saw another person on these forums from Wyoming...so that makes 2 votes for Ron Paul out of the 12 people who live in Wyoming.

I hope a few of the other 10 support Ron Paul too. I wonder if Diana and the other guy were hogging the only computer in the state to check Ron Paul forums.

[Menthol Patch]

It would be awesome if we end up being the only other candidate (other than Romney) with delegates from this state!

why is wyoming a state.

[DealzOnWheelz]

time is passing like a kidney stone

[ayort]

When Ron Paul was in Wyoming a couple months ago. There was a huge turn out. I know people in Wyoming support him. We still have a long way to go today.

Yeah but most of them probably didn't try to get on precinct committees.

[contain1359]

Is there any trustworthy media coverage in Wyoming that we can followup with. usatoday is with the old msm group. We have been shown what they do for reporting the news and coverage of selected candidates. Is there any information regarding each precinct captain for Ron Paul calling a home location for Ron Paul with the final tallies so we know for sure what the numbers are? It seems that this would be simple for each state to arrange for Ron Paul.

[ayort]

time is passing like a kidney stone

I agree!! rprradio.com is helping...a little.

[LARRY08RP]

Attention Duncan Hunter received 1 vote!

Preceincts Reporting: 33%

LOL I've been chuckling for five mins after reading this

[malibu]

What does it mean when a delegate is undeclared under the wyoming system?

Under any state's system, the delegates to the national convention in September vote for the presidential candidate on the first ballot
according to the state rules - usually decided by the citizens that vote in the primary one way or another.

Everyone is "uncommitted" on the second and any subsequent ballots if no one candidate has the majority needed on the first round.

It sounds like Wyoming can have some delegates that can be uncommitted - at least on paper and depending on who the delegate secretly wants - from the getgo.

Good luck Diana !

[gracebkr]

Attention Duncan Hunter received 1 vote!

Preceincts Reporting: 33%

that is encouraging for us.

[gracebkr]

LOL I've been chuckling for five mins after reading this

It is really funny, I took it seriously though.

[AgentPaul001]

ACTUAL DELEGATES
4 - Romney

ALTERNATES
1- Hunter
1- Undecided

[gracebkr]

my left eye is twitching, what is going on!

[i2ambler]

my left eye is twitching, what is going on!


From what I read, its probably going to be a Romney steamroll... probably gonna get all but 2 delegates. Those 2 will be split between hunter and paul.

[AgentPaul001]

Even 1 Delegate is great for us.

Goshen & Fremont both started at 8am Central? So 10am Est? They should be reporting ASAP.

[NeoconPaulsupporter]

my left eye is twitching, what is going on!

A muscular spasm is causing the twitching.

[LARRY08RP]

Romney 5

[gracebkr]

A muscular spasm is causing the twitching.

I know that, it is twitching from anxiety from this primary! ;)

[LARRY08RP]

So we have now Romney 5 and Hunter 1.

Looks like Wyoming is the perfect state for Romney.


So now everyone wins the states which are made for them.

Iowa for Huckabee and Wyoming for Romney.


And the rest is for Ron Paul. Should be enough to win. :D

can you tell us the percentages for those of us who dont have microsoft office

[Peppy690]

romney only has 4 delegates and 1 alternate hunter has 1 delegate

[Promo]

The excel file says 5 Romney (4 delegate,1alternate), 1 Hunter, 1 undecided

[Promo]

Hey, did anyone try the old address prediction trick ?

Change the "five" here http://www.wygop.org/images/wy/five%20da%202008%20form.xls

with "six (http://www.wygop.org/images/wy/six%20da%202008%20form.xls)", "seven (http://www.wygop.org/images/wy/seven%20da%202008%20form.xls)" and so on... there are other Excel files uploaded already (and it doesn't look so good)



EDIT: now they changed it to "seven" on the main wygop page too..

[grizzums]

Update:

Romney 7 (4 Del, 3 Alt)
Hunter 2 (1 Del, 1 Alt)
Thompson 2 (1 Del, 1 Alt)
McCain 1 (Alt)
Undeclared 1 (Alt)

[Paul10]

....

[lnieves]

Update:

Romney 7
Hunter 2
Thompson 2
McCain 1
Undeclared 1

you're not discriminating between delegates and alternates. The correct count for delegates is:

Romney: 4
Hunter: 1
Thompson: 1

For Alternates:

Romney: 3
Hunter: 1
Thompson: 1
McCain: 1

[fortilite]

Damnit, can't we get one? With the process of elimination we'll just get pro-war delegates.

[AgentPaul001]

Agreed doesn't look good. Its important to remember that even though Paul has agruably the second biggest presence in the state that the "war" republican can easily ally for a 50%+ Majority in most precincts.

[VoteRonPaul2008]

do we know the results yet, sorry I can't open the links

[amistybleu]

I know it's not over but I wonder if you guys think this lack of success is due to a lack of people, lack of knowledge or maybe something else.

[LibertiORDeth]

When doe we expect the final results?

[NMCB3]

I know it's not over but I wonder if you guys think this lack of success is due to a lack of people, lack of knowledge or maybe something else.I think its due to the fact that the people of Wyoming (and the American people in general) do not believe in liberty.

[tbarnett17]

Or people are just thinking they'll be able to vote for RP in the general elections and know NOTHING about delegates, caucuses and primaries! -Tyler

[mconder]

omg...even Duncan Hunter has one.

[ayort]

In a republic, The chicken has a gun.

[ProfNo]

I think its due to the fact that the people of Wyoming (and the American people in general) do not believe in liberty.

This is the sad conclusion that I have come to. It is a said day in America.

[Diana]

I know it's not over but I wonder if you guys think this lack of success is due to a lack of people, lack of knowledge or maybe something else.

It's due to Wyoming's system. Most of the people voting were chosen 2 years ago, hmmmm, who was out voting 2 years ago in the Republican Party? Even if a million Ron Paul supporters went to a convention, only so many people had the power to vote, the rest of us could only watch, and boil in frustration. We weren't able to get enough RP people into voting slots back in December to make a difference.
