Romney Wins Wyoming Caucuses But No Big Deal
Mitt Romney was reported as the winner (leader) of yesterdays Wyoming's non-binding caucuses. The Washington Posts notes "Romney winning the presidential preference straw poll portion with 39 percent of the vote, compared to 32 percent for Rick Santorum, 21 percent for Ron Paul and 8 percent for Newt Gingrich."
However, "the straw poll portion of the caucuses, which has no direct bearing on how the state’s 29 delegates will be awarded."
These February caucuses and non-binding straw polls were just the first step in Wyoming's delegate selection process. County-level delegates to the national convention in Tampa will be chosen at county conventions on March 6-10, and statewide delegates will be selected at the state GOP convention in April.
However, at this point in time, it is estimated that this Wyoming "soft pledge" of delegates would be assigned as follows: Mitt Romney 10 delegates, Rick Santorum 8 delegates, Ron Paul 6 delegates, Newt Gingrich 2 delegates and 3 delegates not pledged. If candidates dropout before the final delegate commitment at the Wyoming conventions, the alignment of delegates could change. In the 2008 Presidential Race, Mitt Romney received 12 delegates of the then 14 delegates allowed for Wyoming.

I love how anytime Mitt wins, people just turn their head & cough, but when someone else wins, they act like it's the second coming! DOUBLE STANDARDS!
