Romney Takes Mormon-Dominated Wyoming
Congratulations to Mitt Romney on his astonishing and unforeseen victory in Wyoming, where one in seven residents is Mormon. Whoda thunk it?
Of course, Wyoming pundits attribute Mitt’s success to other factors.
Romney visited Wyoming in August and November and three of his five sons campaigned in the state.
“Number one, he campaigned here,” delegate Leigh Vosler of Cheyenne said of Romney. “I think that helped while some other candidates ignored us. But also he’s the right person for the job.”
For his trouble, Romney picked up eight delegates to the Republican convention. Fred Thompson earned two and Duncan Hunter one. One final delegate is still up for grabs as Wyoming caucus-goers sort out their allegiances.
